From EDI to MODS and EAD, XML in libraries is becoming much more
commonplace. So much so, that staff may not recognize that they
are using XML. Is XML the "new carrier" called for in "On the
Record"? This program will provide a brief overview of XML and
its current uses in libraries including acquisitions, OPACs and
digital preservation. The potential for new applications to
further enhance technical services workflows will also be discussed.
Speakers: Patrick Yott, Digital Initiatives Librarian, Brown
