Themes and Criteria:
While posters can focus on any topic related to linked data in libraries, we especially encourage submissions aligned with this year's conference themes:
--Linked data education
--Inclusion of diverse voices
--Practical steps toward linked data adoption
--Reliability and availability of linked data
--Incorporating linked data into day-to-day library operations
--Linked data advocacy
--The Program Committee will evaluate proposals based on the following criteria:
--Support of the conference theme and goals
