[No apologies whatsoever for cross-posting] Following a presentation I gave at the Evergreen Conference and discussion at the latest meeting of the Cataloging Interest Group, I would like to announce the formation of a new BIBFRAME Study Group.
The rationale of the group is to - Collectively, Evergreen community members should learn more about BIBFRAME in order to decide how/if it should be supported in Evergreen - There are now more tools and more library experience with it - There may be some particular applications we could implement sooner rather than later - But ultimately: we need to figure out what we don't know yet The goals and desired outcomes of the group, which is intended to run for about six months, are: - Bring together catalogers and developers - Experiment with existing tools - Figure out what events / conferences Evergreen libraries should be paying attention to - Figure out who we should be talking to (especially with respect to public libraries and consortia) - Create a proof of concept of exporting and importing BIBFRAME - Create a discussion paper explaining what Evergreen libraries would need from an BIBFRAME implementation - Plan for next steps I have created a new mailing list for the study group.
