Title: Reality and Illusion: The Truth About Digital Projects and Metadata Sharing
Abstract: As libraries become curators and producers of
digital content, librarians are utilizing traditional cataloging skills in new
ways. Our speakers will comment on the successes and hardships with
respect to the creation and sharing of metadata for digital objects in local collections. The panelists will address this issue in the context of specific standards and tools such as Dublin Core, MODS, D-Space, and CONTENTdm.
