Are schools offering separate metadata courses now, and if so what else are they teaching besides the Dublin Core scheme , are we teaching EAD, VRA etc in them also? Ive attended two different workshops recently for librarians on Metadata for ContentDM which had basic exercises and also helpful information on using the standard vocabularies with metadata etc Many libraries are using more than Dublin Core with projects these days as you all know, so am interested to hear how and where it's being included. In terms of digital library collections esp. you will hear many in the audiences and presenters saying "I used to be a cataloger but now I call myself ...." :-) Best, Karen Karen Weaver, MLS Adjunct Instructor Cataloging & Classification The iSchool at Drexel Philadelphia PA email: [log in to unmask] Electronic Resources Statistician Duquesne University, Gumberg Library Pittsburgh PA email: [log in to unmask] On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 2:02 PM, Daniel N Joudrey < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > In the intro class, we do an in-class DC exercise.
