Lorcan 29 Jul 2021 : Read in 2 minutes Systems Conference I was pleased to deliver a presentation at the Eurasian Academic Libraries Conference - 2021, organized by The Nazarbayev University Library and the Association of University Libraries in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Thanks to April Manabat of Nazarbayev University for the invitation and support. I was asked to talk about metadata and to mention OCLC developments. The conference topic was: Contemporary Trends in Information Organization in the Academic Library Environment.

Clearly, much to work through here, and we are certainly seeing new and engaging online and hybrid experiences. In writing the accompanying blog entry, I finished with this observation: The Pandemic is affecting how we think about work travel and the design of events, although in as yet unclear ways. One pandemic effect, certainly, has been the ability to think about both audiences and speakers differently. It is unlikely that I would have attended this conference had it been face to face, however, I readily agreed to be an online participant. // Two Metadata Directions Systems Comment?
