*Program (ACRL Arts):
*/Creating Multimedia Metadata: Controlled Vocabularies Across Time and 
Space/
Sunday, June 26, 1:30-3:30 pm
Convention Center, Room 338

The performing arts are ephemeral textual forms that often elude capture 
and are difficult to access. While libraries and archives have developed 
metadata that enables research into collections of written texts, little 
has been done for texts that encompass space and time: dance, theatre, 
architecture, and archeology. This panel will discuss issues and 
possible solutions to the development of controlled vocabularies for, 
and systematic description of, performance arts objects: both tactile 
and ephemeral. Co-sponsored by the *ALCTS Metadata Interest Group* and 
*ACRL IRIG*.
