Use the 81st Street entrance behind the south fountain. Time: 6:00 - 8:30 pm Join NYTSL for our annual fall program as we discuss the future of bibliographic description and MARC with former LOC "digital pioneer" Rebecca Guenther. Building off our Spring Program on RDA, we'll be looking at how or if MARC can support the content new standard. Does MARC need to change? 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.
