This asynchronous, online course will provide an introduction to XML (the eXtensible Markup Language) and the basic tools for working with XML documents. The main goal of this course is for students to get comfortable with XML as a format, learn some of the tools for working with XML, and learn about several XML standards used in the library community. Topics will include XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs), XML Schemas and XPath. The course will also provide an introduction to several more advanced topics, including XSL stylesheets and the XML query language, XQuery. We will explore several Library of Congress XML markup standards that are relevant to electronic text resources and metadata management including Dublin Core, MARCXML, and MODS.

Course outcomes will include:

	• how to create and manipulate XML documents
	• understanding how DTDs and Schemas define XML document structures and languages
	• understanding how to use XML electronic text markup languages and XML metadata markup schemas
	• understanding how XML markup schemas and standards are currently being used in the library community
