Learning Opportunity – Collective Insight: A Discussion About the Impact of Shared Data on Libraries
You’re invited to attend a virtual networking event to discuss with fellow librarians the impact of shared data on our libraries.
In 2013, the OCLC community explored the concept of shared data and the implications on library success during the Collective Insight series. We discussed topics such as “linked data,” “big data” and “data visualization.” Now, we would like you to join our discussion and share ideas on how you can leverage shared data and strengthen the services you provide.
