Watch this 30-minute on-demand recording featuring Misti Kane, Metadata and Access Librarian at the University of Pittsburgh, as she shared her firsthand experience using OCLC Meridian—a linked data creation and editing tool for libraries—to make metadata and access work more efficient, consistent, and scalable.

If you’re exploring linked data (or trying to move from interest to action), you’ll finish the recording with a clearer picture of what “linked data” looks like in everyday workflows and how Meridian can reduce manual cleanup, improve reuse, and support better discovery.

Misti walked through the workflows she’s developed, how she trained and supported colleagues during adoption, and the Meridian features she finds most valuable day-to-day. You’ll learn what’s changed for the library since implementing Meridian—where it’s reduced friction, improved consistency, and created richer connected data.

You’ll learn about:

• Ways to streamline and standardize your metadata and access work with Meridian
• The measurable and “felt” improvements to metadata and access workflows
• The Meridian workflows she built and how they evolved over time
• Practical approaches to training colleagues and encouraging adoption for Meridian
• Favorite Meridian capabilities and why they matter in real work
• Tips you can apply to your own implementation and team processes
