CARL Canadian Repositories Community of Practice February Call – Metadata Misery
Date: February 7th, 2024
Time: 12:00 – 1:30 pm EST
Whether you love it or hate it, dealing with metadata is part of working with repositories. Given so many competing demands and limited resources, some degree of metadata misery is inevitable! In a digital landscape that is constantly transforming, it can often feel challenging to stay up to date with current metadata standards and keep local demands in sync with harvesting and interoperability requirements.
In this practice-based meeting, we invite repository managers and support staff to share metadata issues they have faced or discuss current issues that they would like to brainstorm together as a community. Presentations can be very informal – problems, solutions, calls for help and commiseration are all welcome!
We ask that participants interested in providing an informal presentation during this event also add their name and presentation topic in the shared event document linked below. All participants are also invited to share questions in the document which can be answered by the community during the event.
Sign-up for presenters and to add questions
Please note that you are not required to present in order to participate in this event. All are welcome!
