Description
The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library’s partnership with Zepheira for BIBFRAME/Linked Data began with high hopes on both sides. But as the relationship evolved, promises were broken and expectations not met. Going forward, there may be a different kind of breakup than what the EVPL had originally imagined. Andrea Kappler will discuss her public library’s experiment with Zepheira to provide Linked Data for their MARC records, the results, and whether or not that partnership will continue into the future. Moderator: Melanie McGurr
