via Eventbrite

Wait, what's a metadatathon?

It's like a hackathon only it's harder to say... and it's for metadata! We'll 
be cleaning up metadata, learning tools and scripts to help automate this 
process, and hearing from Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) experts 
about how metadata affects end users and their ability to do cool things with 
collection materials.

Who can attend?

Anyone interested in contributing materials to the DPLA (or in good metadata 
practices more generally). We're especially hoping to see archivists and 
special collections librarians, metadata librarians, and developers. But we 
welcome any and all party crashers committed to shaping a better information 
ecosystem.

[CODE4LIB] Handbook "Linked data for Libraries, Archives and Museums"

[Seth van Hooland]

Hi,

Some of you might be interested in the handbook "Linked Data for Libraries, 
Archives and Museums. How to clean, link and publish your metadata" which was 
published with Facet/ALA-Neal Schuman last week. This handbook has been written 
specifically for people with an LIS/DH background. You will find a short 
promotional video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnM3tHWAsSA and the first 
chapter can be downloaded from http://book.freeyourmetadata.org/.

If you're interested in getting a review copy from the publisher, let me know.

Kind regards,
