The Metadata and Discovery Group AGM will take place at 2pm on Wednesday 4th September 2024 in the Wolfson Theatre, Cheng Kin Ku Building at the London School of Economics, London.

We will be holding elections for the following committee roles:

• Chair
• Vice-chair
• Treasurer
• Events Officer
  

We are also looking for volunteers to join committee as:

• C&I Journal editors
• International Association of Music Libraries (IAML) Liaison
• Rare Books & Special Collections Group (RBSCG) Bibliographic Standards Committee Liaison
  

The AGM will be followed by an exciting talk and Q&A with guest speaker, Hannes Lowagie, Metadata Manager at KRB, the Royal Library of Belgium. Hannes is the vice-chair of the European RDA Interest Group (EURIG), and a member of LIBER’s Linked Open Data Working Group. Following the talk, there will be an opportunity to network with other attendees at a reception.

Attendance at the AGM and Event is free to all members and non-members, but we are limited as to numbers due to the room-size, so booking is essential. Full details and booking available via the CILIP Events Page: https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1877031&group=201298
