METADATA POLICIES & PRACTICE FOR COLLECTIONS

Page development in progress

Many collections † offer search or “advanced search” capabilities that allow resources to be selected on the basis of bibliographic, contextual, rights and technical information. Standards developed by organizations such as the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (Dublin Core, 2005) and the IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee (LTSC, 2004) allow metadata records to be created that can be easily incorporated into collections and used by learning delivery platforms.
