When Opportunity Knocks? Challenges Associated with Implementing Linked Data in Libraries - ALCTS

Wednesday, May 22, 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM - Library West Room 419

Presenter: Heather Lea Moulaison, PhD, University of Missouri’s School of Information Science and Learning Technologies.

This hour-long webinar takes the discussion of linked data in libraries a step further. The benefits that linked data represents are incontestable:

making relationships in metadata explicit, using web–friendly markup, and liberating libraries from their current data silos are all part of the appeal. Integrating library data onto the semantic web is imminent, but what are some of the obstacles that libraries will have to overcome? Linked data standards, multiple URIs, sophisticated query language issues, and the challenge of navigating a different set of data silos all will require libraries to re-think their approach as we move toward linked data.

Who should attend? Those looking to implement linked data solutions at their libraries.

Presenter: Heather Lea Moulaison, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri’s School of Information Science and Learning Technologies. Dr. Moulaison’s teaching and research interests include organization of information (including cataloging and metadata) and emerging technologies in libraries (including linked data and cloud computing). Dr. Moulaison earned her PhD at Rutgers University, earned an MSLIS from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and also earned an MA in Interdisciplinary French Studies from UIUC.

ProQuest Statistical Abstract of the U.S. 2013 online version

Wednesday, June 12, 2013, 10 AM, MSL 107

Friday, June 28, 2013, 10 AM, MSL 107

ProQuest rescued one of researchers' most valued reference tools when it takes on publication of the Statistical Abstract of the United States beginning with the 2013 edition. You’ll find it behind nearly every reference desk in U.S. libraries as the authoritative go-to source. Librarians value the Statistical Abstract as both an answer book (“How much corn is grown in Iowa?”) and a guide to statistical sources (“What organization has the most authoritative data on foreclosures?”). As a comprehensive collection of statistics on the social, political, and economic conditions of the United States, it is a snapshot of America and its people.

Not just a little better—exponentially better, like the Internet. They could, and, in a society facing colossal challenges, they must, but we won't get there without confronting a few taboos about what a library is, who it's for, and who's in charge.
