CALL FOR PROPOSALS: SCAig 2018 Meeting, Morning Lightning Round


The Academic Library Association of Ohio Special Collections and Archives interest group (SCAig) seeks proposals for lightning round presentations at its upcoming annual meeting, to be held Thursday, May 17, at The Ohio State University Thompson Library, in Columbus.


This year’s meeting, Description is People!: Sharing Descriptive Practices, will focus on the theme of archival and special collections description. The morning lightning round session will serve as a forum to share experiences, exchange ideas, and present findings on all things description.


If you would like to share your experience with archival and special collections description, discuss your current description projects or workflows, or pose description-related ideas or questions to your colleagues, we want to hear from you!


Proposed presentations should be no more than seven minutes in length. The deadline for lightning round proposals is April 13.

Proposals should be submitted to the SCAig co-chairs, Janet Carleton (carleton at ohio.edu<mailto:carleton at ohio.edu>) and Nick Pavlik (npavlik at bgsu.edu<mailto:npavlik at bgsu.edu>).

Using descriptive and technical standards for your finding aids will make access to your collections better now, and into the future! Standards-compliant description can more easily migrate between systems and be shared in an increasingly linked open data environment. This workshop will assume familiarity with concepts of archival arrangement and description. Participants will learn:
