METS
Workshop: The Basics and Beyond
Organized
by ARL, January 10 – 14, 2011 in San Diego,
CA
The
Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Statistics
and Assessment Program and the Digital Library
Federation, a program of the Council on Library
and Information Resources, are offering a third,
five-day METS Workshop: The Basics and Beyond to
be held with Nancy J. Hoebelheinrich of the METS
Editorial Board. This workshop is aimed at people
who work in digital and physical libraries and
would like to gain knowledge and skills for
organizing the many and disparate component parts
of individual digital resources.
Course
Description
Although
continuous, this hands-on workshop consists of
three modules, any of which may be taken
independently:
- The first
module (Monday) offers a thorough introduction
to METS, including an overview of all of its
high level features.
- The second
module (Tuesday and Wednesday) delves deeply
into the heart of METS: the flexible mechanisms
it provides for encoding, organizing, and
representing digital content of various kinds
and for different purposes. It also looks at
tools that can facilitate the implementation of
METS and how their use may affect encoding
decisions.
- The third
and final module (Thursday and Friday morning)
explores strategies for implementing METS in a
production environment, and provides
participants with the opportunity to strategize
about the implementation of METS within their
own environments. Several in-depth case studies
from institutions using METS in production
environments will be presented.
