Or do we need to support new structure and encoding standards for RDA? Rebecca Guenther has 35 years of experience in national libraries, primarily working on library technology standards related to digital libraries. Most of her professional life has been at the Library of Congress developing national and international standards related to metadata. This includes 22 years on the development and maintenance of the MARC formats and the development of related XML formats, such as MODS and MADS. She has served on numerous standards and implementation committees, several as chair, is widely published in professional literature, and has given many tutorials, workshops and presentations. She recently began to explore use of semantic web technology and the potential of Linked Data. She left the Library of Congress in August 2011 to work as a consultant on metadata development and planning.

Gslisadjuncts A Recommendation
by Thomas Surprenant 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi guys, Last week during the faculty/staff meeting with the president he asked for creative recommendations that would make a difference. I opened my big mouth and said that, given the horrible salaries of adjuncts that we should offer free parking -- ah, the turd in the punch bowl. They are scheduling a number of so-called "interactions" over the next months to address issues concerning how to improve the image etc. of the campus. Rest assured that, even if I feel that I am yelling in a vacuum, I will continue to harp on this issue. You guys are super and they, the administration, should begin to recognize it! -- chirp elt Dr. Thomas T. Surprenant Professor Queens College Graduate School of Library & Information Studies
