I’m speaking at an ALA Annual Program called “Have Metadata, Can Collaborate: Putting the MARC21 583 Field to Use in Cooperative Preservation Efforts.” The session is on Sunday, June 26, 2011, 1:30–3:30pm, in the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, Room 342.
This program will showcase a variety of ways that libraries are communicating about their preservation and conservation activities. My section will focus on using metadata to support cooperative print archives projects.
Have Metadata, Can Collaborate: Putting the MARC21 583 Field to Use in Cooperative Preservation Efforts
an ALCTS Program
Sponsored by PARS

Convention Center, Room 342
Objectives
At the end of this program, participants will have a better understanding of how the national standard of Preservation & Digitization Actions (PDA) terminology can be used to record and share preservation and conservation actions in the MARC21 583 field; the potential of metadata recorded in this field to facilitate cooperative work at the local, regional, and national levels; why and how institutions develop terminology to supplement PDA; and how to facilitate coding by preservation and conservation staff who are not trained MARC catalogers.
