Linked data and URIs -- #7 Resources
Even if your library isn’t currently using linked data, it’s helpful to be aware of these practices, especially with the increasing presence of URIs in cataloging data. The posts shared here over the past 6 weeks have only presented some introductory material on linked data and URIs in MARC records.
Here are some links to more information on these topics if you want to dive deeper:

This is the final post in a series weekly blog posts written by Zahra Gordon, the NHSL Cataloger, which will explain “Linked Data,” an emerging topic in the library field, and how it relates to “Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs),” which are appearing in subfields of MARC records with increasing frequency.
