Records to go: cataloguing and using humanities online resources in the
Humbul Humanities Hub
University of Oxford, 27 July 2001, 0915-1700
This one-day workshop, part of a series of summer workshops, will
introduce participants to the Humbul Humanities Hub, both for the
cataloguing of online resources and for re-using resource descriptions
from the Hub.
Presentations will include:
* An introduction to Humbul and the Resource Discovery Network
* A practical session relating to the evaluation of web resources
* A presentation on the description of Web resources using metadata
schemes such as the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set
The workshop will have two distinct strands around which will be built
hands-on tutorials.
The first strand is aimed at participants wishing to collect and make
available annotated links to Web resources from their own web page
(whether a gateway, a course page or a personal home page). The tutorial
will demonstrate how one can search for, store, and export records from
Humbul, including ways of dynamically including resource descriptions
within one's own web page.
The second strand is aimed at participants who either wish to contribute
to Humbul within a given subject area or wish to know more about the
issues involved in the cataloguing of Web resources. The tutorial will
allow participants to describe and edit a resource using Humbul's
cataloguing system.
The workshop costs 65 pounds including materials and refreshments (35
pounds for students).
An online booking form, and details of other workshops in the series, is
available via http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/summer/programme.html
