I'm sure you all see announcements of our regular workshop programme, but I
thought it was worth mentioning that the workshop we run called Content
Manangement on the Web covers exactly these topics - XML, Style Sheets,
Metadata, and Dynamic HTML.
It is next scheduled for Oxford on June 26th, details as usual on our web
site:
www.netskills.ac.uk/workshops/
This is a popular venue and numbers are limited so even though late June
seems some time away, I advise people to book early, and an online booking
form is available already for this workshop.
We are also developing a full day workshop purely on XML which will be
available also at the end of June, first being run in Belfast, then likely
Manchester in July. Again our website will have details when these workshops
are made public.
Regards,
Rob

Subject: How are you implementing metadata and XML?
> This is probably a Noddy question, but I'd rather ask it and look stupid
> than not get some useful replies.
>
> We are updating our Web site over the next year, at the same time as
> introducing a new library management system (not yet chosen), which we
> hope will also be able to handle XML. So we want to prepare ourselves by
> working on style sheets, and by producing some basic standards for all
> cataloguing staff to use in incorporating metadata into the cataloguing of
> Web pages.
>
> I would like to find out what other university libraries are doing in
> these areas, on a day to day basis, rather than large projects such as
> CEDARS.
>
> We are finding it difficult to know where to start. So I would appreciate
> any advice, links or warnings about how to/how not to introduce these
> elements into our systems.
