OCLC Western and the Getty Research Institute (GRI) will present the
fifth annual OCLC Digital Forum West on September 16 and 17, 2009, in
Los Angeles, California, at the Getty Research Institute at the Getty
Center. This year’s Forum will focus on Convergence: Where Metadata
and Access Meet for Digital Discovery and Delivery.
The Forum will feature national experts from the archival, museum, and
library communities who will discuss current projects and initiatives
exploring creation of metadata for digital discovery and delivery.
Four of these distinguished presenters include:
* Dr. Anne J. Gilliland (keynote speaker), Professor, Information
Studies and Moving Image Archive Studies, and Chair of the Department of
Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles
* Maureen Whalen, Associate General Counsel for the J. Paul Getty
Trust
* Dr. John Falk, Sea Grant Professor in Free-Choice Learning, Oregon
State University
* Kristine Brancolini, Dean of University Libraries, Loyola Marymount
University
The Forum is designed to offer a relatively small, intimate setting
where participants can share knowledge and create networks with other
organizations. Join us for keynotes, panels, and small group discussions
at the Getty. This is a good educational opportunity for librarians,
archivists, and museum staff who are charged with creating digital
access to collections.
