At the 2014 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, the Intellectual Access to Preservation Metadata Interest Group meeting centered on a case study of information professionals collaborating with content creators to generate metadata, in support of preservation. The meeting drew approximately 35 attendees. After leading a brief business meeting, co-chairs Sarah Potvin and Chelcie Juliet Rowell introduced the speakers, Lorraine L. Richards and Adam Townes. Richards (Assistant Professor) and Townes (Doctoral Candidate) are part of a research group from the College of Computing and Informatics at Drexel University that also includes William C.
