Metadata Services for Research Data Management

The  ALCTS Metadata Interest Group seeks presentation proposals for the
program “Metadata Services for Research Data Management” during the
ALCTS Virtual Preconference “Planning for the Evolving Role of Metadata
Librarians” prior to the 2015 ALA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA.
This program is scheduled to take place during the week of June 1st
(specific days during the week of June 1st will be determined at a later
date in consultation with speaker availability).  Presentations are 30
minutes in total — 20 minutes for the presentation, 10 minutes for
questions.

Librarians  continue to engage in active partnerships with researchers who seek
assistance in describing and organizing their data to meet federal
mandates and to promote the discoverability and preservation of their
work.  This session will examine different ways that librarians
collaborate with researchers to manage and curate research data.  

Potential topics could include:

– Creation of metadata workflows or tools for discipline-based metadata schema and repositories (internal and external)

– Utilization of emerging metadata schema, including the semantic web, to describe research data

– Implementation of metadata consultation services for researchers.

Participants  will gain awareness of the current issues surrounding metadata services
for research data management and identify different methods and
approaches for working with researchers and the metadata they generate.

The deadline for proposals is December 5, 2014.  Proposals may be submitted through this form : http://goo.gl/forms/PSd2yrSMof
