As a result of a successful Linked Data Summit held in March 2017, MCLS facilitated the formation of a multi-state Linked Data for Libraries Users Group. The purpose of the group is for staff of libraries to discuss the latest developments in Linked Data and the implications for libraries, share experiences, explore new products, and raise awareness.

A Steering Committee, chaired by Andrea Kappler from Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library, Evansville, IN, was formed and is working on providing resources and information to the Linked Data for Libraries Users Group members. Towards this effort, there will be an All Users Group Meeting on Wednesday, November 7 from 3-4pm Eastern (2-3pm Central). The group will meet virtually through Zoom.
