5 Things Thursday: ARTstor, Metadata, Daguerreotype, Unglue.it

Here are your weekly five things:

  1. Want to go behind the scenes at ARTstor? Here is your chance to see how Dustin Wees, Director of Metadata and Cataloguing explains metadata. What is it about the ARTstor Name Authority that gets me so excited?
  2. An impassioned plea from photographers - stop stripping XMP metadata! Contains lots of information on copyright complete with examples.
  3. Interesting piece in KMWorld about the crucial role of metadata in organizing documents for the Air Force Medical Service.
  4. Maybe this will become your new favorite blog commemorating librarians past - check out My Daguerreotype Librarian. Fabulous photos and bios of some really awesome librarians.
  5. From my former classmate Sarah Hashemi Scott, a marvelous article on why you should support Unglue.it. I especially like the fact that unglued books are library friendly.
