In the life cycle of digital content, shareable metadata is an important part of the process of both digitized and born-digital content to enable users to find the digital objects. Furthermore, metadata can be shared beyond the original environment to make the digital objects available to a larger audience, such as through aggregation services like the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). In this Funding to Preservation: A Digital Content Life Cycle Series webinar, Megan Pearson, Project Coordinator for the Illinois Digital Heritage Hub (IDHH), the Illinois Hub for the DPLA, will share her experience with aggregating metadata and working with metadata created by other institutions, including standardization practices and methods used by the IDHH, and offer some thoughts on how to create shareable metadata across environments.

Presenter:
Megan Pearson is the Project Coordinator for the Illinois Digital Heritage Hub (IDHH), where she coordinates the administration, aggregation (including the metadata standardization and ingest process), content curation, and outreach and promotion for the IDHH. She joined the IDHH as Metadata Manager in 2020. While pursuing her MSLIS, Megan worked in the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Library as Project Manager and Technical Graduate Assistant for the National Digital Newspaper Program. Prior to libraries, Megan studied early modern British literature and hand-press printing.

Discover how artificial intelligence is set to impact personal computing and library services in our upcoming webinar led by Colin Keenan, Experiential Learning Services Librarian at NC State University.

This session will also highlight projected changes to interfaces and how AI empowers self-identified ‘non-technical’ staff to engage in tool development thinking.

The webinar will be activity-based, featuring example workflows tailored to specific professional needs and providing practical insights into how AI can be harnessed for both personal and professional utility.
