METS Workshop: The Basics and Beyond


Organized by ARL, June 28-July 2, 2010, in Washington DC


Washington DC-The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Statistics and
Measurement Program is offering a second, five-day workshop entitled METS:
The Basics and Beyond to be held in partnership with Nancy J. Hoebelheinrich
and Rick Beaubien of the METS Editorial Board. This workshop is aimed at
people who work in digital and physical libraries and would like to gain
knowledge and skills for organizing the many and disparate components of
individual digital resources.


Course Description


Although continuous, this hands-on workshop consists of three modules, any
of which may be taken independently:

*	The first module (Monday) offers a thorough introduction to METS
including an overview of all of its high level features.
*	The second module (Tuesday and Wednesday) delves deeply into the
heart of METS: the flexible mechanisms it provides for encoding, organizing
and representing digital content of various kinds and for different
purposes.
*	The third and final module (Thursday and Friday) explores strategies
for implementing METS in a production environment, and reviews existing
tools that can facilitate implementation.
