The ALCTS Metadata Interest Group seeks proposals for presentations for the program “Metadata Beyond the Library: Consultation and Collaboration with Faculty, Staff and Students” at the ALA Annual Meeting 2014 in Las Vegas, NV. This program is scheduled on Saturday, June 28, 2014 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Presentations are 30 minutes in total -- 20 minutes for the presentation, 10 minutes for questions.

This program will discuss ways in which metadata experts can share expertise beyond traditional library settings.

Proposal ideas could include:

-    Examples of successful  metadata consulting initiatives with their constituent communities

-   Examples of  training sessions, workshops, boot camps to share metadata expertise

-   Other venues for deploying metadata expertise outside the library

Participants will gain awareness of metadata needs outside the library community, learn about goals for metadata consultation, and will learn of methods to provide metadata services for faculty, staff and students.

All presentations at ALA Annual Las Vegas 2014 will be recorded. Speaker agreements will be forwarded to all speakers and will require consent for video recording.

The deadline for proposals is December 9, 2014.

If you have any difficulties with this form, please feel free to submit your proposals directly by email to sathompson3@uh.edu

Thank you!
