Metadata Plus: How Libraries Assure Discovery Of Locally Created Content, Melanie Feltner-Reichert, Marie Garrett, Linda L. Phillips

Other Library Publications and Works

This presentation offers a simple illustration of the ways html code, metadata tagging and other strategies enable content discovery. It contains examples that can be understood by anyone familiar with a bibliographic record. Librarians who grasp these concepts will be well-prepared to convince faculty that the library is both a safe and sustainable archive for their work, and that placing content with the library is more likely to lead to its discovery than any personal web space.
