NY3Rs Webinar: Metadata Relationships
Live—online at your desk
11:00AM – 1:00PM
This workshop in the Metadata Principles and Practices focuses on
the role of expressing relationships in metadata to enhance
resource discovery.
Topics to be covered: How the Metadata Encoding and
Transmission Standard maintains links between metadata and the
resources they describe; How the Semantic Web, RDF and Linked
Data semantically articulate relationships between entities to
aggregate metadata components and enable users to find
resources related to their research interests; The Bibliographic
Framework (BibFrame) as an application of RDF and its potential
as a replacement for MARC 21.
Learning Objectives: Describe the role of relationships in
enabling resource acquisition; Identify technologies for
articulating relationships in metadata; Assess the current status
and potential of BibFrame as a replacement for MARC 21.

Speak to Impress: Public Speaking Skills
for Librarians and Archivists
Farmingdale Public Library
10:00AM-12:00PM
Public speaking is a vital skill in any profession. As librarians and
archivists, we participate in meetings, provide instruction to the
public, pitch to clients, and address colleagues regularly. Effective
communication is key to conveying our messages, whether they
inform, persuade, or direct.
Content matters, and so does delivery. In order to maximize our
credibility and showcase our expertise in the workplace, attention
must also be paid to preparation, non-verbal cues, and more.
Join us for this interactive 2-hour session that will provide
practical tips for speaking before an audience. No previous
experience or knowledge is required. Attendees will have an
opportunity to put these tips into practice and gain constructive
feedback from a supportive audience during the workshop.
Who should attend: Anyone interested in becoming more
comfortable speaking before an audience.
By the end of this program, participants will:
▪ Learn tips for communicating more effectively
▪ Gain more confidence with speaking before an audience
Presenter: Karen Erani, member of Toastmasters International
This interactive workshop is limited to 18 participants and no more
than 2 participants per institution.
FEE: $25 Member; $80 Nonmember; $20 Retired Member/
