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
