The
Central Colorado Library System is sponsoring the OCLC Institute
"Steering by Standards" videoconference series:
Librarians face the challenge of
charting organizational directions that incorporate emerging
knowledge-sharing standards. These complex new standards will
significantly impact librarians and other information professionals,
their institutions, budgets, staffs, systems, and workflows. Gaining
practical insights into these global initiatives will help library
leaders decide more quickly and effectively how to respond locally.
To support this effort, the OCLC
Institute is presenting a series of three satellite videoconferences.
Each of the videoconferences will bring together an
industry-recognized standards expert and practitioners with real-world
issues. The audience will have the opportunity to interact with the
experts, and the host will facilitate discussion and debate among
participants.

The OAIS (
Archival Information System) Imperative:
Enduring Record or Digital Dust
Friday, April 19, 10 am – 12:30 pm
Place: Auraria Library
(Note: This videoconference is at the same time as the Virtual
Reference Teleconference from the College of DuPage, also sponsored
by CCLS)
Description: Do you remember
those glorious color images sent back by Voyager? Where are they now?
Will future generations be able to access them? TheArchival
Information System (OAIS) proposes a framework for preserving our
digital heritage. The library community and other information
professionals around the world are exploring this standard as one
option for preserving and maintaining access to born-digital
materials. What does OAIS mean to the library profession? How can we
apply it to local projects? How can we impact this emerging standard
and its systems implications?
Host: Meg Bellinger, Vice
President, OCLC Digital and Preservation Resources
Key speaker: Donald M. Sawyer,
Lead, Science Office of Standards and Technology, NASA
Practitioners: Bruce Ambacher,
Electronic & Special Media Records Services Division, US National

Paper Past, Digital
Future: Managing Metadata Standards in Transition
Wednesday, May 29, noon - 10 am – 12:30
pm
Place: Auraria Library
Description: Library staffers face
countless challenges as they integrate electronic resources into their
collections and deliver those resources to their users. They are
accustomed to dealing with multiple standards in their catalogs,
including AACR2 for descriptions and names, MARC 21 for record
structure, and Library of Congress Subject Headings for subjects.
Suddenly, many more information standards are emerging and competing for
attention -- Dublin Core, ONIX, EAD, TEI, and more. Are the tried and
true knowledge-organization tools no longer useful? Can new standards be
integrated into existing catalogs? How can authors and publishers help
libraries organize all types of materials?
Host: Gary Houk, Vice President, OCLC
Cataloging and Metadata Services
Key speaker: Barbara Tillett, Ph.D.,
Director, Integrated Library System Program Office, Library of Congress
Practitioner: Liz Bishoff, Project
Director, Colorado Digitization Project
