I’d like to call your attention to the LOD-LAM Zotero Group, sponsored by the Digital Library Federation, and invite you to check it out, bookmark it and/or get the RSS feed, and most importantly, contribute to it!

This is an online bibliography/webliography of linked data resources (articles, blog posts, tutorials and books, videos and podcasts, events, standards, sites for vocabularies, projects, data sources, software and web-based tools, and more…) of interest to the library, archive and museum community.
Chelcie Rowell of the DLF is overseeing the progress of this site, and a group from the ALA Linked Library Data Interest Group (Laura Akerman, Nicole Colovos, Kevin Clair, Corey Harper and Karen Coyle) have been working to seed it with some useful material (just a taste – we know there’s more out there!), and figure out some basic organization to start.
Is your linked-data-related article, project, tutorial, vocabulary, or the software you’re using or wrote in there? If not, please add it!
Particularly valuable would be information about tools (web-based and software), including your own notes about your experience if you’re using something. Keeping up with the “good stuff” is more than one individual or even a small group could manage, but we hope that this can become a “go to” site for information of particular interest and usefulness to us, and it will be, if we can all share.
Much like a wiki, anybody can see, but to contribute, you do have to have to create a login (and join the Group). Use of the Zotero client or plugin isn’t required, but recommended. When you find something useful on the web, it’s easy to grab it and add it. Nicole and the group prepared a guide for Zotero Group newbies: http://connect.ala.org/node/177340
If you have thoughts or experience problems, we want to hear from you and have set up an email address to contact:
Spread the word and the information.
