That\u2019s the best kind of compliment, and the kind that personally keeps me doing this, despite the downsides of travel and the cost in time it takes to do these presentations on a regular basis. Sadly, these kinds of gigs are really meant to be done by people with institutional support, like working librarians with real jobs, who do this sort of thing as a way to give back, to create a tenure record, or just to have time in what passes for the spotlight in librarianship. Karen and I are each trying to make a living as independent consultants, and the value proposition is very different for us.  <\/p>\n<p>But the trip and the interactions gave me more ideas for my workshop, and that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past few days I\u2019ve been in Denver, as part of a commitment to present at a program entitled \u201cThe Semantic Web and RDA: Making the Catalog a Networked Bibliographic Environment.\u201d The other speaker on the program was Karen Coyle, and both sets of slides for this program are available publicly, Karen\u2019s on her [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meeting-reports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/managemetadata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
