As more digital library initiatives become
collaborative and inclusive of content curated
outside of libraries, they are faced with the
challenge of integrating their own traditional
metadata creation practices with those from
outside of the profession. Attendees will learn
about digitization projects incorporating archival
and museum content, and how those standards
have been successfully applied alongside, and
crosswalked with, library metadata.
Speakers: Joyce Chapman, North Carolina State
University, Libraries Fellow; Danielle Plumer, Texas
