OCLC's Digital Forum East will spotlight Convergence: Where Metadata and
Access Meet for Digital Discovery and Delivery. We will feature experts
from the museum, archival and library communities who will discuss
current projects and initiatives exploring creation of metadata for
digital discovery and delivery.
The Forum is designed to offer an intimate meeting setting where
participants can share knowledge and create networks with other
organizations. This is an ideal educational opportunity for librarians,
archivists and museum staff who are charged with creating digital access
to collections.
