NISO Webinar: Experimenting with BIBFRAME: Reports from Early Adopters

Date: April 8, 2015

Time: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. Eastern time

***********

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

In May 2011, the Library of Congress officially launched a new
modeling initiative, Bibliographic Framework Initiative, as a linked
data alternative to MARC. The Library then announced in November 2012
the proposed model, called BIBFRAME. Since then, the library world is
moving from mainly theorizing about the BIBFRAME model to attempts to
implement practical experimentation and testing. This experimentation
is iterative, and continues to shape the model so that it’s stable
enough and broadly acceptable enough for adoption.

In this webinar, several institutions will share their progress in
experimenting with BIBFRAME within their library system. They will
discuss the existing, developing, and planned projects happening at
their institutions. Challenges and opportunities in exploring and
implementing BIBFRAME in their institutions will be discussed as well.

Topics and speakers are:

• Experimental Mode: The National Library of Medicine and experiences
with BIBFRAME – Nancy Fallgren, Metadata Specialist Librarian,
National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, US
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)

• Exploring BIBFRAME at a Small Academic Library – Jeremy Nelson,
Metadata and Systems Librarian, Colorado College

• Linked Data for Libraries (LD4L) – Nancy Lorimer, Head, Metadata
Dept, Stanford University Libraries
