The Power of XML to Enhance Work Flow and Discovery

WHEN: Monday July 13, 2009

TIME: 1:30-3:00 pm

LOCATION: McCormick Place West, room W-179

Co-sponsored by: LITA's Digital Library Technologies Interest Group

 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 
University Library; David Ruddy, Director, E-Publishing 
Technologies, Cornell University Library
