Professional Development Opportunities from SCLA/SELA, ALCTS; and NISO
SCLA/SELA Joint Conference 2013 “Local Roots, Regional Reach”
Deadline: May 31, 2013 See: Proposal form
This will be the first time since 2002 that the South Carolina Library Association has held a joint meeting with the Southeastern Library Association. In SCLA’s 98th year, your proposal can be part of the “Local Roots, Regional Reach” theme whereby you share expertise and tips in library and information services not only with SCLA members across the state, but also regionally with SELA members (from twelve states.)
Submissions are sought in on all topics and in all subject areas from public and academic libraries, youth services, special libraries and other information services settings. An “unconference” track will also be held again this year.
Stay abreast of Joint Conference details, connect with the SCLA mailing list through Google Groups!

Archival 101 is designed to demystify the archival product market for the layperson and nonpreservation specialist. The presentation will provide an overview of the conservation and preservation issues facing libraries, cultural organizations, and individuals; describe the terminology in use; discuss products and offer buying tips on the different ways these can be used. A list of links to other resources will also be provided.
Archival 101 is designed for individuals with little or no experience and will also provide the more experienced user with helpful hints…
Presenter
Peter D. Verheyen, Head of Preservation and Conservation at Syracuse University.
After beginning as work-study in preservation under John Dean at Johns Hopkins, Verheyen studied binding and conservation in Germany and Switzerland to become a rare book conservator working in private practice and research library preservation programs. He established the conservation lab at Syracuse for the treatment of special collections materials, and developed a high-density system for storing architectural drawings among other things.
The Archival 101 presentation was originally developed for call center staff at Gaylord Bros. when he worked there as Archival Product Manager. It has since been presented regionally to varying audiences.
Date & Times: Thursday, April 25, 2013 sessions are intended to last 1 hour, starting: 11am Pacific | 12 Mountain | 1pm Central | 2pm Easter
Friday, June 28, 8:30a.m.–4 p.m.
Techniques for electronic resource management (TERMS) is a crowdsourcing experiment that has been designed to encourage worldwide librarians to share their best practices and workflows of electronic resource management freely. We invited interested librarians via social media venues such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr & a wiki. Come learn how this experiment worked and participate in the development of capturing the best practices of electronic resource management. The TERMS Library Technology Report will be made available to attendees.
Speakers include:
- Jill Emery, Collection Development Librarian, Portland State University
- Graham Stone BSc, DipILS, MCLIP, FHEA, Information Resources Manager, Computing and Library Services, University of Huddersfield, Queensgate
Thursday, June 27, 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
To date, shared print programs have focused largely on journals. Monographs pose a different challenge, and require new approaches. Information from circulation and holdings records can help libraries share responsibility for print collections, while enabling careful drawdown of surplus copies and protection of the scholarly record.
This preconference will highlight the experiences of several groups: Michigan Shared Print Initiative, Connect New York, Maine Shared Collection Strategy, the California State University system, and others.
Speakers include:
- Rick Lugg, Sustainable Collection Services (SCS)
- Clem Guthro, Colby College & Maine Shared Collection Strategy
- Matthew Revitt, Maine Shared Collection Strategy
- Gerry Hanley, Ph.D, Office of the Chancellor, California State University
- Alice Kawakami, California State University/Los Angeles
- Doug Way, Head of Collections & Scholarly Communications
- Randy Dykhuis, Executive Director, Midwest Collaborative for Library Services and MI-SPI
- Sara Amato, Systems Librarian, Maine Shared Collections Strategy
- Andy Breeding, Sustainable Collection Services
- Emily Hutton-Hughes, Colgate University and Connect NY
- Debra Bucher, Vassar College and Connect NY
- Dr. Barbara Cockrell, Western Michigan University and MI-SPI
NISO Events for April
- EPUB3 and the Future of Interoperable Ebooks: What Libraries Need to Know (NISO Virtual Conference)
April 17: 11:00 – 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time)
About the Virtual Conference
EPUB3 is a standard for interoperable e-books that is rapidly being adopted by the publishing and device manufacturing community. It has the promise of allowing publishers to create a single file format that can be rendered on any reading device, such as an e-reader, tablet, laptop, smartphone, etc. This will be a critical component of a library’s e-book services, since libraries must be in a position to serve patrons who come in with a range of devices, not simply from one particular supplier. Understanding the e-book files and why EPUB will allow a broader range of fulfilling patron needs is something that both publishers and librarians need to understand. Join us for a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of EPUB3, suggested tools for implementation, barrier issues on the horizon, and the significant improvements in accessibility with EPUB…

- Deployment of RDA (Resource Description and Access) Cataloging and its Expression as Linked Data (NISO/DCMI Webinar)
April 24: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time)
About the Webinar
A seminar at the British Library in April 2012 marked the fifth anniversary of a 2007 meeting at which representatives of the Dublin Core, Semantic Web, and RDA communities jointly recommended that the then-draft cataloging standard RDA be provided in the form of vocabularies and application profiles usable for Linked Data.
One year after this anniversary meeting and one year closer to the general deployment of RDA in libraries, this webinar will take stock of progress towards developing application profiles based on RDA and discuss the practicalities of exposing RDA-based data in the Linked Data cloud…
