Conference website: http://seminar.udcc.org/2015 Contact: seminar2015 at udcc.org Linked data practices and techniques have opened new possibilities in exploiting controlled vocabularies and improving resource discovery. Authority data held in library systems often includes classification schemes. These knowledge structures now have the potential for being shared across the linked data environment. The objective of this conference is to explore such potential, expanding the value and use of classification as an authority controlled vocabulary, from a local perspective to the global environment. Speakers include Michael Buckland, Barbara Tillett, Dagobert Soergel, Rebecca Green, Maja ?umer & Marcia Zeng, Nuno Freire, Maria In?s Cordeiro, Andrea Scharnhorst & Richard Smiraglia, Wolfram Sperber, Koraljka Golub, Claudio Gnoli, Marie Balikova, Victoria Francu. Proceedings are published by Ergon Verlag.

We watch as the cloud reshapes into something else. Like actual clouds, the world of digital cloud-based tools seems to also be ever changing as this new technology is developed. For librarians, trend of moving ILS systems to the cloud has exciting possibilities but enthusiasm is tempered by uncertainty. Cloud-based web services are a somewhat new tool, and as such, options are limited. These services are being continuously upgraded, and librarians need to have a voice in the development of these tools to be sure their needs are met. Libraries have needs that are complex and evolving and available ILS systems are presently limited in their abilities. Minimally, an ILS system will track what the library owns, its patrons, what they have borrowed, and other general library services. These minimal functions do not take into account the need for integration with the wider array of online services libraries offer nor integration into services of the libraries? academic institution. This webinar will discuss what capabilities libraries need versus the capabilities currently offered in commercial ILS systems, and possible short-term solutions as well as helping ILS cloud services to understand better what future versions of their products should include. Confirmed topics and speakers are: - *Utilizing the Cloud to Empower Research Efforts - **John ?JG? Chirapurath, Senior Vice President and General Manager, ProQuest Workflow Solutions * - *Migrating CDL Infrastructure to Amazon Web Services - **Kurt Ewoldsen, Manager, Infrastructure and Applications Support, California Digital Library, University of California* - *Surveying the Horizon: Preservation and the Cloud - **Heather Lea Moulaison, Assistant Professor, The iSchool (School of Information Science & Learning Technologies), University of Missouri* *REGISTRATION* Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on October 14, 2015 (the day of the webinar).
