From The State Library

Ohio Digital Network wants to go on a date with you - a coffee date, that is!

ODN is launching a new guided discussion series called ODN Coffee Chats where we’ll talk about metadata-related topics that are on the minds of digital collection and cultural heritage workers across the state. Each virtual 60 minute meeting will have its own discussion topic with resources and questions shared ahead of time to prompt frank conversation – no formal presentations and no recordings. Led by ODN Metadata Librarian and former DPLA Metadata Working Group co-chair Penelope Shumaker, these casual discussions are free and open to all GLAM professionals and students in Ohio.

Fill out our short registration form to get the event info for any or all of these dates:

April 6, 11am – Reparative description
June 1, 11am – Content warnings and sensitive collection topics
August 3, 11am – Accessibility and language use

We look forward to seeing you there!
