Join us for next week’s NCompass Live, “Linked Data and Libraries: An Overview”, on Wednesday, Feb. 24, 10:00-11:00 am Central Time.
Join Robin Hastings, Director of Technology Services for Northeast Kansas Library System (NEKLS), as she goes over the basics of what linked data is, what the potential of linked data can be and how libraries (and other organizations) are using it right now to make information more easily accessible on the web. Learn what the Library of Congress is doing with BIBFRAME and how projects like the Open Library are making use of linked data to extend their reach and make their information reusable.
