During the spring of 2021, OCLC Research ran a discussion series focused on these two reports where participants were able to share their own experiences, get a better understanding of the topic area, and gain confidence in planning ahead. An opening plenary webinar giving an overview of next generation metadata, how and why it is changing, and the impact this could have. OCLC speakers in this session include Rachel Frick (Executive Director, Research Library Partnership), John Chapman (Senior Product Manager, Metadata Services), Annette Dortmund (Senior Product Manager), and Titia van der Werf (Senior Program Officer). A closing plenary webinar by OCLC and representatives from the round table discussions to bring together what was discussed and to share highlights from the sessions with the wider group. ./cache/www-oclc-org-6729.html ./txt/www-oclc-org-6729.txt
