Library of Congress January 2023 BIBFRAME Update Forum
Monday, January 30, 2023: 1:00 PM ET – 2:00 PM ET (10:00 AM PT – 11:00 AM PT)

Library of Congress BIBFRAME Update (click to access program)
Several large institutions have recently focused on the open source system Folio for development of a BIBFRAME/Linked Data library system. This BIBFRAME Update will examine how the community development of Folio will help to introduce BIBFRAME and Linked Data and also the need for control of diverse models.

Leading off will be Sebastian Hammer, president of the company that spearheaded the initial design of the Folio “core” system. He will be describing the open nature of Folio and how vendors might use all or parts of Folio in BIBFRAME-based implementations. Jeremy Nelson will tell about Stanford’s journey thus far in migrating to Folio and at the same time combining systems in several of Stanford’s libraries. Jason Kovari from Cornell describes the vision and use cases being discussed among the FOLIO community about the management of entities in a FOLIO implementation. And Melanie Wacker from Columbia, the co-chair of an important international group, BIBFRAME Interoperability Group (BIG), that is delving into interchange among various systems or even different implementations of the same system, will indicate where their discussions are currently headed.

Be ready for a few questions for the speakers and other panel members.

Join us for this Monday afternoon (or morning depending on your time zone) program!

Library data is something that we all have to deal with – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes it can be fun and exciting when you have an interesting story to tell. Other times, it can be terrifying sifting through old forgotten admin logins and new report layouts. As with much of our work, we train ourselves on the data as we go.

Do you have a passion for library data? Are you interested in learning about useful tools and methods that help you comb through data? Are you trying to get a better handle on analyzing and sharing COUNTER 5 and SUSHI data? Would you like to learn new ways to communicate about your data to different audiences? This conference is for you! Come join your library colleagues at the SUNYLA Midwinter Online Conference on Friday, February 3, 2023 (9:30am – 4:15pm EST).

Technology requirements for attendance: Computer, internet connection, microphone/speakers (headset recommended) or telephone. Zoom Webinar will be used for this conference and is free for use by attendees.
