Karen Smith-Yoshimura for OCLC and her colleagues have recently published the third (and I think final) volume of what is now the definitive snapshot of the state of the art in the critically important area of social metadata for libraries, museums and archives. The three volumes, a newly available executive summary, and other ancillary material such as a recent webinar are all available at

Social Metadata for Libraries, Archives, and Museums

This is a wonderful resource, and I'm grateful to OCLC for developing it and making it broadly available.

Clifford Lynch Director, CNI

The Knowledge Exchange (a collaboration of DEFF in Denmark, DFG in Germany, JISC in the UK and SURF in the Netherlands) hosted a very helpful workshop on international author ID management on March 13-14, 2012 in London which I was fortunate to be able to participate in. The announcement of the report and a summary of the outcomes is reproduced below. The direct link to the workshop report is

This workshop was an enormously useful complement to the CNI Workshop on Scholarly Identity which was held on April 4, and several particpants attended both workshops. A report from the CNI Workshop should be available in a few weeks, and of course I'll announce it here.

A Guide to the Spring 2012 Coalition for Networked Information Membership Meeting

The Spring 2012 CNI Membership Meeting, to be held at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland on April 2 and 3, offers a wide range of presentations that advance and report on CNI's programs, showcase projects underway at CNI member institutions, and highlight important national and international developments. Here is the customary "roadmap" to the sessions at the meeting, which includes both plenary events and an extensive series of breakout sessions focusing on current developments in networked information.

As usual, the CNI meeting proper is preceded by an optional orientation session for new attendees - both representatives of new member organizations and new representatives or alternate delegates from existing member organizations - at 11:30 AM; guests are also welcome. Refreshments are available for all at 12:15 PM on Monday, April 2. The opening plenary is at 1:15 PM and will be followed by three rounds of parallel breakout sessions. Tuesday, April 3, includes additional rounds of parallel breakout sessions, lunch, and the closing keynote, concluding around 3:30 PM. Along with plenary and breakout sessions, the meeting includes generous break time for informal networking with colleagues and a reception which will run until 7:15 PM on the evening of Monday, April 2, after which participants can enjoy a free evening in Baltimore.

The CNI meeting agenda is subject to last minute changes, particularly in the breakout sessions, and you can find the most current information on our website, www.cni.org, and on the announcements board near the registration desk at the meeting. Information about wireless access in the meeting room areas will be available at the registration table.
