Hi all, I work in a small health sciences archive that's in the process of inventorying our collection and, from there, creating EAD finding aids. We've been looking for software that lets us do both, and, since we already use Innopac for our library operations, I'm particularly interested in Innovative Interfaces' Metadata Builder (part of the MetaSource module). Does anyone have any opinions about it? This is what the blurb on the web site (http://www.iii.com/mill/digital.shtml) says: Metadata Builder Libraries are looking for ways to describe digital collections effectively and efficiently. Metadata Builder allows libraries to describe and store digital collections using a variety of metadata schemes such as EAD or Dublin Core. Features of the Metadata Builder include: Support for the storage of metadata structures and formats (e.g., EAD, TEI, Dublin Core, and XML) Ability to enter, batch load, store, and export XML in a defined metadata scheme Indexing and retrieval on the various metadata schemes Web-based display appropriate to both object- and collection-level metadata Links digital objects with appropriate metadata (e.g., image database with Dublin Core or digital archives with EAD) Thanks!
