So, someone asked me how I learned all of the web stuff that I know. It’s a combination of a lot of different resources but what I finally realized is the secret to everything (perhaps, even life itself): All you really need to understand is the structure, some of the basic commands, and how the code works. With that and
So, I’ve been experimenting with pinterest, which up until now, has been predominantly used by women over 50. To be honest, initially, I could have cared less about pinterest. I really couldn’t see a reason to use it as it seemed to be all DIY, crafts, fashion, recipes, and childcare stuff… kind of a glittery glued, bubblegum, hearts and flowers
We’re talking digital legacy, metadata trails, digital stuff… challenges of archiving… Up until Feb. 22 – listen while you can!(and the great music!)http://www.wrek.org/lostinthestacks/

Laura, Doug & I will be discussing linked data, semantic web and library projects (including what Emory is up to) at COMO on Thursday. I will also be doing a more general metadata session on Thursday morning. In addition to all of that Doug and Laura have started GLAMLOD as a discussion group for linked data, semantic web, and metadata
Although my graphics didn’t turn out too nicely at slideshare, overall I think this covers what I’d like my staff to understand about RDA and FRBR in terms of foundation knowledge. We build from here… Rda intro.pptx from robin f
This first chapter outlines the book but also includes a nice overview of metadata and how it fits into the web at large (and really all of the records we create). If you are new to metadata or interested in learning how metadata works on the web (& perhaps, try a few projects), you are definitely the audience we were
Early on I was on a committee that was charged with writing metadata standards using qualified Dublin Core (DC) for what would become the Institutional Repository for the Univ. System of Georgia Libraries.I worked on other parts of this initial project (Technical Oversight, Portal Design) too. Anyhow, I am particularly proud of how dedicated and diligent this group is in
I’ve been working alot on these water themed paintings and wall hangings. They are mixed media, acrylic (very sheer, layered over paper, and net)…< This one is titled, postcards from the deep. Like many of my paintings, this is not exactly what I had in mind when I started this one. It was meant to be the cornerstone of the
