[Rdap] DataLibs virtual meeting regarding Libraries+ Network - April 7

[Daureen Nesdill]

I cannot make the meeting on April 7.
I'm a longtime TRAIL member https://www.crl.edu/programs/trail . We have been digitizing old Federal Tech Reports since 2006. From this effort we learned that there is a lot of data embedded in federal reports.

Hi, RDAP listservers - You may have seen this on another list. Sorry if that is annoying to you!


Many of you know about DataRefuge and some of you know that we're looking to move towards a more sustainable and systematic way to backup federal data and information. We've been talking to many library, open data, government, and other people and starting to imagine what we're calling (intentionally blandly) the Libraries+ Network<http://libraries.network>. To understand the problems ensuring continued access to federal data, we're having a multi-stakeholder meeting in May. In order to keep a good balance of stakeholders at the meeting, we've had to curate the invite list, but we want and need to have the larger community - especially data professionals - involved and engaged in the discussion.

In an effort to do that, we're hosting a virtual meeting on Friday, April 7 from 2:00 pm EDT just for data librarians and other data professionals. (There will be a meeting for a broader audience on April 19<https://libraries.network/blog/2017/3/31/libraries-informational-update-webinar>. Please direct interested non-datalib type colleagues to that one). The meeting will provide a brief overview of the goals as we currently see them for the Libraries+ Network and give attendees the opportunity to discuss together the problems and issues associated with this idea. The agenda is not to come up with solutions, but to get a better understanding of the problem, particularly from this community's perspective. We'll also be discussing how best to bring this perspective to the May meeting and stay engaged going forward.

Please consider registering for this virtual meeting at https://goo.gl/forms/IWNNoEq3CBbvuFTF2. This form also includes a space to write a brief description of how you currently see the problem of ensuring continued access to federal data. Please respond to this question so that we can use the answers to find common themes or great divergences ahead of the meeting and form a more productive agenda based on what we hear. Answers will be made public so we can all learn from each other before the meeting.


You'll be able to join the meeting on April 7 from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android at https://www.zoom.us/j/6397098606

More information about the Libraries+ Network is available at http://libraries.network

Thanks, everybody!
