Group meeting at ALA Midwinter in San Antonio.

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.

Speakers:
Ann Caldwell  (Metadata Specialist, Brown University Library) 
Carol Hixson  (Head, Metadata and Digital Library Services, University 
of Oregon)

There will be ample time for questions and discussion. Please come
participate in the discussion.

Angela Riggio
Chair, Electronic Resources Interest Group ariggio_at_library.ucla.edu
