Zepheira Linked Data and BIBFRAME Practical Practitioner Training


Is Your Library Ready for Linked Data and BIBFRAME?

Library relevance on the Web begins with visibility, Linked Data and BIBFRAME will play a key role in the Web understanding libraries and reflecting what libraries have to offer. Through Zepheira’s work with hundreds of librarians, we found a need for a clear baseline of knowledge and awareness about where to begin on this path to relevance and visibility. Building on our experience over the last twenty years and our leadership role in shaping the Web, Linked Data, and BIBFRAME, we have developed a experience-driven training series focused on libraries, their data, their audiences, and their local needs. See our Calendar of Events for upcoming training offerings, webinars, and speaking engagements.
