Think, Create, Share, Grow: Promoting the Learning 4 Life InitiativeMelissa Corey
ALA's Emerging Leaders program included a variety of projects from
librarians of all backgrounds, including one school library-focused project

workshop will be very helpful to attendees who are not sure how to teach
information literacy skills or need a set of standards to follow.

"Smart Content: The Importance of Semantics in Publishing"
The way we organize our information is shifting from the book-centric table of contents or bibliographic citations to a more dynamic approach that directs us to content that may never have been initially intended, or previously encountered.
Smart content is content that is equipped with structured data that allows it to soar across domains, user groups, profiles, and knowledge maps to reach readers in non-linear ways. Through the guidance of taxonomies and the exploitation of classifications, smart content no longer waits for the wisdom of the reader, but seeks the most appropriate reader for its content.
This presentation explores how semantics and reliable metadata act as agents to broker such relationships.

interface design and assessment, project communication, for understanding that
management, metadata standards and their certain information services don't work in a
application, and mark-up languages and their market, for understanding the ontology of
application. In addition, it's been helpful to documents and text, for an understanding of

their acquisitions and their purchasing workflows.”
“It shaped the way I thought about information, period. Accessibility, preservation,
copyright, representing it, managing large amounts of it, all of that. I just had not thought
about these things before. ... Library school DID NOT expose me to anything specific about
the publishing industry, or how publishing is done, nor did it really train me in the specific
standards and tools that are relevant (like ePub).”
