Really looking forward to our #CopimConference to kick off later this week! On Day 2, I'll be chairing a session on Metadata, dissemination challenges & open community solutions for open access books and will be welcoming panelists @EmmaE_B , Edgar Garcia Valencia, and Harrison W. Inefuku. Emma, Edgar, and Harrison will be sharing perspectives of a library, an infrastructure researcher, and a library publisher, on the varied issues related to book #metadata and #dissemination - perspectives that will touch upon questions such as “What is a book?”, and discuss issues of ingest pipelines and adoption of #PIDs and controlled vocabularies in the books space. Panellists will also seek to touch upon the benefits of, and potential barriers to, establishing practical, community-led solutions that make #OAbooks findable and re-usable within as well as outside of library systems.
