---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 BIBFRAME Update at ALA in San Francisco When: Sunday, June 28, from 10:30 to noon Where: Moscone Convention Center, Room 2008 (W). With the active interest in the community in both linked data and BIBFRAME, LC thought it was a good time to hear some perspectives of several important system suppliers in the library community. The vendors represented on this panel are each looking for how they will both continue to sustain and improve the systems they have in libraries and also plan how they can take advantage of the linkages that are increasingly going to be included in our data. Thus the panel will focus on their views of linked data, and in particular BIBFRAME, and their roadmaps for near term product development in those areas. - Eric Miller, President, Zepheira - Leif Pedersen, Senior Vice President of Product Management, R&D, and Marketing, Innovative Interfaces - Ido Peled, Vice President, Solutions and Marketing, Ex Libris - Sheridan Richey, Vice President, Product Management and Software Development, SirsiDynix - Dan Specht, Chief Financial Officer of Atlas Systems The session will open with as update on the Library of Congress BIBFRAME pilot: - Sally McCallum, Library of Congress - Beacher Wiggins, Library of Congress ------------------------------ Message: 2 Telling Your Story: Why Technical Services Matters LLAMA/SASS Technical Services and Systems Committee, Co-sponsored with ALCTS Advocacy & Policy Committee Librarians and staff need to know how to talk to administrators and leaders within their organizations. It is especially important in today?s ever changing library environment for technical services librarians and staff to find effective, meaningful ways to share information about the work they are doing and how that work supports the mission of the library and/or larger organization. This program seeks to show those working in technical services how they can tell their story. Attendees will be encourage to share their own stories.
