I'd like to call your attention to the LOD-LAM Zotero Group, sponsored
by the Digital Library Federation, and inviting you to check it out,
bookmark it and/or get the RSS feed, and most importantly, contribute
to it!

https://www.zotero.org/groups/lod-lam

This is an online bibliography ("webliography") of linked data
resources (articles, blog posts, tutorials and books, videos and
podcasts, events, standards, sites for vocabularies, projects, data
sources, software and web-based tools, and more...) of interest to the
library, archive and museum community.

Chelcie Rowell of the DLF is overseeing the progress of this site, and
a group from the ALA Linked Library Data Interest Group (Myself,
Nicole Colovos, Kevin Clair, Corey Harper and Karen Coyle) have been
working to seed it with some useful material (just a taste - we know
there's more out there!), and figure out some basic organization to
start.

Is your linked-data-related article, project, tutorial, vocabulary, or
the software you're using or wrote in there? If not, please add it!
Particularly valuable would be information about tools (web-based and
software), including your own notes about your experience if you're
using something. Keeping up with the "good stuff" is more than one
individual or even a small group could manage, but we hope that this
can become a "go to" site for information of particular interest and
usefulness to us, and it will be, if we can all share.

Much like a wiki, anybody can see, but to contribute, you do have to
have to create a login (and join the Group). Use of the Zotero client
or plugin isn't required, but recommended. When you find something
useful on the web, it's easy to grab it and add it. Nicole and the
group prepared a guide for Zotero Group newbies: http://connect.ala.org/node/177340

If you have thoughts or experience problems, we want to hear from you
and have set up an email address to contact:
lodlam...@yahoo.com.

Spread the word!

Laura
