Apologies for cross-posting Registration for Collections & Metadata closes on Monday, 4 September. Backstage Library Works invites you to join us in London on Tuesday, 12 September, or in Edinburgh on Thursday, 14 September, for Collections & Metadata, a seminar for library leaders and metadata professionals. If you work with physical and digital collections, special collections, or metadata, this event is for you. Register today to secure your space: bit.ly/collections-and-metadata<http://bit.ly/collections-and-metadata> The Topic: Managing an institution's collections and metadata can be a huge task. Librarians and archivists feel pressure to continually improve workflows, delivering better service to patrons and researchers. At the same time, many are being asked to create efficiencies, to find new ways to accomplish more with existing resources. Librarians at leading institutions are tackling these challenges in innovative ways. We’ve invited a few to discuss their projects and future plans with you. The lineup includes presentations on reclassifying collections, managing metadata for a flood of incoming electronic resources, and collaborating across departments to explore efficiencies and foster greater understanding. We'll have speakers from the University of Kent, Aberystwyth University, Edinburgh University, and the British Library. We hope you'll join us.
