Organizers from the libraries at Duke University and the University of North Carolina invite archivists and others interested in the discovery of archival collections to participate in a full-day pre-conference session ahead of the conference on March 24, 2014. Preliminary details about the pre-conference are available at:<a href="http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_preconference_proposals#Archival_discovery_and_use">http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_preconference_proposals#Archival_discovery_and_use</a>.<br><br><br>In keeping with the spirit of Code4Lib, the details of the pre-conference will continue to evolve based on attendees expressed interest and ideas. Tentatively, topics to be covered include: crowd-sourcing description to enhance collections; linked data and authority; mass digitization and sustainable workflows; digitized objects in context (images and other objects in finding aids); versioning; and global-, intra-, and inter- discovery of archival materials via finding aids. For questions and to express interest in specific topics, please contact: Tim Shearer, UNC Chapel Hill, tshearer at <a href="http://email.unc.edu">email.unc.edu</a> or Will Sexton, Duke, will.sexton at <a href="http://duke.edu">duke.edu</a><br><br><br>Those who wish to attend the pre-conference do not need to register for the entire conference.

Each year, the Code4Lib conference helps revitalize the community as participants meet in person to discuss new and ongoing projects in a single-track format with 20-minute presentations and 5-minute lightning talks. Volunteer-led pre-conference programs provide in-depth participatory learning experiences for participants while ad-hoc afternoon breakout sessions focus on collaboration around specific topics of interest.<br><br> <br><br>About Code4Lib<br><br>Code4Lib is a core community of developers and technologists for libraries, museums, and archives who have a strong commitment to open technologies. Code4Lib began as a simple mailing list in 2003 and held its first face-to-face meeting in 2005 in Chicago. The first official annual conference was held in 2006 in Corvallis, Oregon.
