RBMS TASK FORCE ON METRICS AND ASSESSMENT
Charge: The RBMS Task Force on Metrics and Assessment is charged with examining current practices for gathering and reporting information to demonstrate the value and impact of special collections and archives. The Task Force will conduct a survey of the literature and establish relationships with groups working on similar issues such as ARL, SAA, etc.; consider both what activities warrant assessment and how to undertake the assessment of those activities; and identify needs for best practices and guidelines that will enable more meaningful assessment of the spectrum of what we provide to our various constituencies. The Task Force will provide a preliminary report by Midwinter 2013 and a final written report prior to Annual 2013.

LINKED DATA?
Linked data is about exposing, sharing, and reusing pieces of data distributed across the web. As a publishing technique it is focused on interoperability, statements NOT documents, and building relationships and meanings using a formal set of W3C semantic web standards and practices. The data is structured so computers can un-ambiguously read it.Things that must be present:
Openly licensed data The data must be structured as RDF (Resource
Description Framework) triples using URI (Uniformed Resource Identifiers) as addresses
(preferably those that can be ‘dereferenced’ .. e.g. URLs)
HTTP protocol
LIBRARY LINKED DATA PROJECTS OCLC projects include
WorldCat has linked data added!! Conference announcement VIAF (Virtual International Authority File)

http://dewey.info/ FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology)
http://experimental.worldcat.org/fast/ Working with Europeana (European Union) to improve quality of its

TIPS FOR SURVIVING YOUR FIRST ALA ANNUAL
Matt Carruthers
August 31, 2012
TIPS FOR SURVIVING YOUR FIRST ALA ANNUAL
1) It’s OK to be overwhelmed (at first)
2) Plan early; plan completely
3) Be prepared to throw that plan out the
window
4) If you want to network, get out of the convention center
ONE FINAL NOTE
Slides and other relevant notes will be posted to the Libraries intranet
