NISO/BISG 10th Annual Forum: The Changing Standards Landscape: The User's ExperienceDescription: The Forum will open with a discussion on the findings of a recent joint ALA/BISG (Book Industry Study Group) survey illuminating patron attitudes on digital library usage. Among those issues to be explored are the formats library patrons, from adults to children, prefer when borrowing and reading books; how often patrons visit the physical and online versions of their local public library; and the differences in patron attitudes and behaviors depending on age, gender, geography and other demographic factors.

https://www.eventscribe.com/2016/ala-annual/fsPopup.asp?Mode=presInfo&PresentationID=143098Diverse and Inclusive Metadata: Developing Cultural Competencies in Descriptive PracticesDescription: Digital items can be misrepresented when the people cataloging them don’t have a background in the cultural contexts from which they originate. How are metadata creators developing methods to encourage the creation of metadata that represents diverse points of view? How does using sources of authority control such as LCSH contribute to misrepresentation of cultural heritage materials? This program provides a discussion venue for ideas to promote cultural competencies and inclusivity in the metadata process. Sponsored by ALCTS Metadata Interest Group. Co-Sponsored by Black Caucus of ALA, REFORMA, American Indian Library Association, and Chinese American Librarians Association.

This is a "hybrid" grassroots movement, with robust digital and physical presences. Documenting such movements for both short-term use by students and scholars and long-term preservation is a serious challenge for 21st-century libraries and archives. The program will explore the ways that activists, academics, archivists, and librarians are collecting and providing access to the history unfolding today. This program is co-sponsored by the ALA Committee on Diversity and the ALCTS PARS Digital Preservation Interest Group.
