Cataloging = Creating Metadata
October 19-20, 2000	(Registration deadline: October 5)
Fee:	$285
	The term "metadata" has been a hot buzzword in the library 
for at least five years. But is creating metadata all that different 
from traditional cataloging? Is metadata only for Internet resources, 
or can it be used for print resources too?This workshop provides an 
overview of the major metadata schemas, such as Dublin Core. 
Participants will get a good look at some leading metadata projects 
and evaluate them as part of a group project.

Remote Access to Licensed Electronic Resources
November 9, 2000 (Registration deadline: October 28)
Fee:	$185
Registration deadline: October 28
	Libraries have a large role to undertake in licensing 
electronic resources for use by their communities.  Delivering 
licensed information to your patrons wherever they may be and 
wherever your information may be located is now possible. Who can get 
in? Who is kept out? What methods and software are available for 
making this happen and what are the costs? This course covers ways of 
providing access to licensed electronic resources to patrons who may 
not physically be in the library.  Emphasis will be on IP address 
restrictions and web-based proxy servers. Weíll compare the different 
web-proxy server options and how each works. The technical level is 
intermediate.  This course is geared for electronic resources 
decision-makers and implementers who must grapple with the realities 
of access and authorization as electronic resources are acquired by 
the library.

The Management of Digitization Projects
November 16-17, 2000 (Registration deadline: November 1)
Fee:	$295
	Completing a successful digitization project requires a 
combination of critical skills including technical knowledge, project 
management, communication, familiarity with materials, and the 
ability to analyze the project with an eye toward adapting new and 
useful technologies in mid-stream. The workshop will cover project 
planning; timelines; budgets; technical specifications and standards; 
capture, storage, and access; staffing and productivity.
