Northeast Metadata Specialists Unconference
Do you work with metadata? Are you a digital initiatives librarian training
volunteers for metadata creation? Are you a metadata librarian developing
transformations and mappings? Are you programmer who suddenly has to learn
MODS? There are a number of metadata specialists of all varieties in New
England area. The Northeast Metadata Specialists Unconference, NEMS U
(http://blogs.lib.uconn.edu/nemsu/), was created to allow these specialists to
come together to work on metadata, discuss projects, help with building their
skill sets and network.
NEMS Unconference is an informal, open and inexpensive meeting where all skill
levels come together to work and discuss metadata issues. NEMS U is
collaborative, spontaneous and timely, productive, interprofessional and
interdisciplinary. Attendees are expected to participate and above all have fun.
