METADATA IN PRACTICE

Part One illustrates projects serving teachers, universities, Canadian educators, statewide collaborations, and geographical information, while Part Two addresses future trends. Considering these examples, with their unvarnished "lessons learned," librarians will derive answers to such technical questions as: - What are the major standards relevant to digital libraries? - How do these elements relate to one another and to traditional library practices? - How do planners integrate cutting edge metadata issues into project planning? - What does the future hold for harvesting, re-use, and re-purposing of information?
