employed by libraries and archives. 

 

Topics for discussion include urban planning/smart cities, enhanced
metadata, standards, legal issues, community-based collections, civic data,

The goal of this forum, sponsored by the SJSU School of Information and a
grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is to discuss and
make recommendations about the future uses of blockchain technology within
the information professions. The results of the forum will be the basis for
a white paper submitted to IMLS and distributed to information communities.

 

This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum
and Library Services - LG-98-17-0209-17
<https://www.imls.gov/grants/awarded/LG-98-17-0209-17> . The views,
findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed do not necessarily
represent those of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
