My ALA Annual this year is going to focus on five hashtags: #mashcat, #privacy, #nisoprivacy, #kohails, and #evgils.<\/p>\n
#mashcat is for Mashcat<\/a>, which an effort to build links between library systems and library metadata folks. We’ve had some recent success with Twitter chats<\/a>, and I’ve made up some badge ribbons. If you’d like one, tweet at me (@gmcharlt)!<\/p>\n #privacy and #nisoprivacy are for patron privacy. My particular interest in using our technology to better protect it. I’ll be running the LITA Patron Privacy Technologies Interest Group meeting on Saturday, (where I look forward to Alison Macrina’s update on Let’s Encrypt). I’ll also be participating in the face-to-face meeting on Monday and Tuesday for the NISO project<\/a> to create a consensus framework for patron privacy in digital library and information systems.<\/p>\n #kohails and #evgils are for Koha and Evergreen, both of which I hack on and which MPOW supports \u2013 so one of the things I’ll also be doing is wearing my vendor hat while boothing and meeting.<\/p>\n Here’s my conference schedule so far, although I hope to squeeze in a Linked Data program as well:<\/p>\n
