SMIG December meeting canceled, DEI roundtable planned for January

[Goslen, Anna]

Hello,

 

The December Samvera Metadata Interest Group meeting is canceled. Please plan to join us for our next meeting on January 25th, 2022, 2-3pm Eastern, which will be a roundtable discussion on Metadata for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Listed below are possible topics for discussion, but all ideas are welcome.

 

• Content warnings and harmful content statements
• Collaborative metadata creation and management with communities and repositories
• Problematic subject headings and use of alternative controlled vocabularies
• Local namespaces and controlled vocabularies
• Metadata remediation and audit projects, tools, or examples

 

We’d love to hear what you’re doing in your work! If you’re interested in participating, please email Nora Zimmerman (zimm...@lafayette.edu) and Anna Goslen (gos...@email.unc.edu), SMIG co-facilitators, with a brief description of your proposed discussion topic by January 14th, 2022.

 

Stay tuned for another roundtable on Metadata to Support Accessibility, later in 2022!

 

Sincerely,

Nora Zimmerman & Anna Goslen
