Here are five really interesting things to check out this week:
- What skills does a digital archivist or librarian need? According to The Signal (LOC) blog, an MLIS from an ALA-accredited school is a start along with metadata savvy and project management skills.
- For some basic DAM building blocks, check out this post by David Riecks - "because people can't use what they can't find."
- Wish I could have been a fly on the wall at this event in London on visual content presented by ISKO (International Society for Knowledge Organization). With segments on keywording, rights, metadata (including auto generated) and even multimedia classification, this is the kind of thing I would like to see here in Seattle.
- This post from Henrik de Gyor on names is intriguing. I might counter with what's in a filename. Unlike names of products, filenames really should have convention of sorts - dates, abbreviated locations or creator names - a unique identifier.
- Out of the box thinking abounds over on Hack Library School with the proclamation that 'The Library Will Be Crowdfunded." One can only hope...
