Upcoming Events
Software For Controlled Vocabulary Work
The Community-Centred Controlled Vocabularies (3CV) SSHRC project is holding its second open workshop on the topic of software for controlled vocabulary work. Partners and guests from around the region will come together to learn about, discuss, and try their hands at some tools for exploring and managing controlled vocabularies.
Current 3CV partners are the UBC iSchool, UBC Libraries, the University of Fraser Valley’s South Asian Canadian Digital Archive, Out on the Shelves Library, Vancouver Black Library, and the AIDE Canada Library. We welcome students and professionals from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums to attend this event and future workshops in the series!
All events will take place in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at UBC, on the unceded, traditional, and ancestral territory of the Musqueam People.
We look forward to learning with you at the workshop and for your input into the 3CV project. 3CV aims to build capacity for GLAMs to develop, maintain, and apply community-centered metadata tools like controlled vocabularies. You can find full contact information for the team at www.3cv.ubc.ca.

Community Engagement In Knowledge Organization Workshop
The Community-Centred Controlled Vocabularies (3CV) SSHRC project is holding its first open workshop on the topic of community engagement in knowledge organization. The morning’s programming will start with presentations from 3CV partners (which include the University of Fraser Valley’s South Asian Canadian Digital Archive, UBC Libraries, Out on the Shelves Library, Vancouver Black Library, and the AIDE Canada Library) followed by discussion among attendees on opportunities and challenges in facilitating community input and assessment in metadata, archival description, and controlled vocabularies.
The workshop is open to students and practitioners across GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) sectors. Attendees can expect to learn from project partners’ experiences with community engagement work, to connect with peers embarking on similar initiatives, and to help inform the 3CV project’s aims for capacity building in this area.
An afternoon event (held in the UBC iSchool) will follow, with attendees experimenting with hands-on methods for community engagement.
