BIBFRAME and the Future of Bibliographic Data (Nebraska
Library Commission)
The Bibliographic Framework Initiative, or BIBFRAME, is
intended to provide a replacement to the MARC format as an encoding standard
for library catalogs. Its aim is to move library data into a Linked Data
format, allowing it to interact with other data on the Web. In this session,
Emily Nimsakont, the NLC’s Cataloging Librarian, will cover the basics of
BIBFRAME, describe what it can provide for users of library catalogs that MARC
can’t, and outline what librarians should be aware of regarding this change in
the cataloging landscape.

areas for improvement. The Edge Toolkit gives libraries a look into their local
data, from operations to partnerships and programming, to assess how their
community is using the technology and how best practices can be put into place
to align future growth and services with community priorities. It also provides
useful resources to package and showcase the data to other community leaders.

content, highlights outstanding titles, and provides suggestions for connecting

with single parents, ambiguous family constructs, and gender-neutral characters
to promote “rainbow family values.”

Maintaining Your Nonprofit’s 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Status
(Nonprofit Webinars)
A nonprofit’s 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is one of its
most precious assets; it: encourages giving by allowing donors to make
tax-deductible donations; maximizes funds available to support the mission by
exempting most income from taxes; facilitates grants from foundations and
government funders; and enhances credibility with the public and donors. Make
sure your nonprofit doesn’t inadvertently lose its (c)(3) status by not following
the rules. This session will explain in plain English (not legalese!) some of
the core responsibilities, including: filing annual IRS returns; ensuring that
activities further your tax-exempt purposes and benefit the public rather than
private interests; avoiding impermissible financial benefits to insiders;
limiting lobbying activities; avoiding political campaign activities; limiting,
and paying taxes on, unrelated business income; recordkeeping; and maintaining
public charity status.

Is Your Organization’s Culture Impeding Growth?
(Nonprofit Webinars)
Peter Drucker has a great quote: “Culture eats strategy
for breakfast.” Although culture plays a large part in how organizations
function, grow and change, we don’t always take its power and influence fully
into account. When organizations assess their readiness for growth – or are
unexpectedly thrown into change – their culture can be a help, a hindrance or
somewhere in between. Because an organization’s culture often evolves
organically, leaders and staff are not always aware of the role culture takes
in their ability to grow.
