METRO & ACRL/NY Present: Change in the Digital Age: Metadata Trends for Libraries (Nov. 16)
Speaker: Rebecca Guenther
Wednesday, November 16, 2011, 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Register ($10 for METRO and ACRL/NY Members) at
http://www.metro.org/en/cev/
Metadata has become a key piece in managing and discovering information resources in the digital environment. This event is intended for professionals and students who are interested in learning about the current and future metadata environment in libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. The presenter will briefly review metadata standards and applications with a particular focus on digital resources and describe how they are changing as the availability of data on the Internet has exploded and new methods of finding resources have emerged. The program will highlight trends in the metadata arena, particularly focusing on descriptive and technical metadata standards and how changes might affect institutions creating and maintaining metadata for library and other resources.
Who should attend:
Librarians, archivists, and museum professionals who create or maintain metadata for their resources as well as students seeking to learn more about the use of metadata
By the end of this program, participants will:
- Gain an understanding of the changes in cataloging rules (RDA) and the bibliographic format (MARC) and how they might affect the metadata environment
- Explore types of metadata and their importance especially in management of information resources
- Understand how the Semantic Web and Linked Data enhance interoperability among metadata standards and how these new technologies might be relevant to cultural heritage institutions
About our speaker:
Rebecca Guenther has 35 years of experience in national libraries, primarily working on library technology standards related to digital libraries. Most of her professional life has been at the Library of Congress developing national and international standards related to metadata. She has served on numerous standards and implementation committees, several as chair, is widely published in professional literature, and has given many tutorials, workshops and presentations. She recently began to explore use of semantic web technology and the potential of linked data. She left the Library of Congress in August 2011 to work as a consultant on metadata development and planning.

ACRL/NY Graduate Services Discussion Group Joint Meeting with Metro Bibliographic Instruction SlG Nov. 9, 2011
Please join ACRL/NY’s Graduate Services Discussion Group for the joint meeting with the Metro Bibliographic Instruction Special Interest Group at Metro from 10 am until noon on Wednesday, November 9.
Scott Collard, Social Sciences Collections Coordinator and Librarian for Education and Linguistics at New York University’s Bobst Library, will give a presentation about graduate student services at NYU: “Over the past several years, university libraries have been discussing the need for the provision of specialized services, spaces, and instructional programming for graduate students. When considering graduate students' library needs, there has been a concentration on designing graduate student spaces, creating technology and service infrastructure to support graduate student needs, and deploying student-centered instructional programming. In the past six years, a number of studies have reported data on graduate student library use to recommend how libraries can better serve these users. At NYU, we've been working over the past four years to increase our capacity to deliver services and spaces to support highly diverse, evolving, and growing populations of graduate students. This presentation will present an overview of some of the approaches we have taken, the precepts that underlie our approach, and a discussion of some of the results we are seeing from these interventions.”
Those planning to attend should notify one of the co-chairs, Michael Handis (mhandis@gc.cuny.edu) or Amy Balmer (aballmer@gc.cuny.edu), so that seating arrangements can be made. Please state in the email if you are/are not a member of ACRL/NY and ACRL.

ACRL/NY Information Literacy and Distance Learning Discussion Groups Meet and Greet, May 13, 2011
Mercy College in Manhattan
9:30 – 11 am (directions)
TOPIC: Remote Meeting & Instruction platforms for Distance Learning Patrons.
The Distance Learning and Information Literacy Discussion groups welcome you to their annual “Meet and Greet” scheduled for Friday, May 13. The focus of this meeting’s discussion will be the use of web conferencing tools for online instruction, workshops and 1:1 library support for distance learners.
Scheduled demonstrations of remote platforms will include Adobe Connect, WIMBA, and Skype, but we are not limited to discussing these platforms; rather, we would like to have this be a forum for how our colleagues are using remote meeting/instruction platforms for teaching and learning at their institutions.
ACRLNY discussion groups* allow you to share experiences, get practical ideas and develop strategies with colleagues to integrating best practices at your own libraries campuses. Coming to this open “meet-and-greet” would allow you to connect with colleagues to discuss:
Ø Pros and Cons of remote platforms (covering technical issues, pricing and best practices for instituting these tools in your library)
Ø Instructional issues related to using these platforms with Distance Learning populations in particular
Ø methods and experiences using meeting software in conjunction with course management systems (such as WebCT, Blackboard or Moodle.)
Please RSVP using this google form so that we can give your name to security at the venue. If you are unable to make the meeting, you may also use the RSVP form to share a platform resource and/or let us know if you would like to be notified about future ACRLNY Discussion Group Meetings.
Thank-you for your interest, looking forward to a good meeting.
| Chair, Information Literacy Discussion Group | Chair, Distance Learning Discussion Group |
Please note that discussion group meetings are just one of many benefits extended to members of the ACRL-NY chapter. Membership in our local chapter is a “New York Bargain” — ranging from a mere $10 (for students) to $25 (for National members) to $35 (for Non-ACRL National members). If you are not yet a member, join today to start enjoying other professional development, conference, workshop and networking benefits.
