Laura Campbell, CIO of the Library of Congress, delivered the keynote address at the 2011 SemTech Conference in San Francisco, CA. Her talk focused on “how linked data is helping us to do more with less” while managing the Library’s existing collections; maintaining its role as a leader in the distribution of canonical information; and following its mission to collect, preserve, and provide access to a born digital collection.
During her talk, Campbell said she hoped the takeaway would be that “We need to get very clever about new methods of doing our mission, new methods of executing both getting the material and managing it and providing access to it.”
