>METADATA STANDARDS AND APPLICATIONS - CALL FOR TRAINERS
>
>The Library of Congress and the Association for Library Collections &
>Technical Services (ALCTS) are seeking trainers for a new training initiative.
>
>BACKGROUND
>
>In November 2000, the Bicentennial Conference on Bibliographic Control for
>the New Millennium was held to bring together authorities in the
>cataloging and metadata communities to discuss outstanding issues
>involving improved discovery and access to Web resources. One resulting
>recommendation was the development of training and continuing education to
>improve bibliographic control of selected Web resources. The Cataloger's
>Learning Workshop (CLW) has been established as a clearinghouse portal for
>cataloging and metadata training. 'Metadata Standards and Applications' is
>one of several workshops developed to support the goal of improving
>bibliographic control of Web resources. Information about CLW is available
>at: http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/
>
>WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
>
>'Metadata Standards and Applications' is a two-day workshop with the goal
>of relating what catalogers already know about the traditional library
>world to the metadata world, so that they can properly understand the
>extent of their current knowledge and see how it can relate to a
>transition to new areas. Topics covered include:
>
>* Introduction to Digital Libraries
>* What is Metadata?
>* Storage and Retrieval Models
>* Data Creation and Management Models
>* Relationship Models
>* Specific Metadata Standards and Applications Overview
>
>A more detailed outline of the workshop is available at:
>http://www.library.cornell.edu/cts/alcts/Outline-Course_2rev0509.doc
>
>INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR
>
>The objective of the Instructor Development Seminar (IDS) is to develop
>trainers to deliver 'Metadata Standards and Applications' in a classroom
>setting. This one-day seminar will prepare participants to deliver the
>course material and will outline the role of the trainer in the CLW
>organizational framework.
>
>The instructor seminar for this workshop will be held Saturday May 13th at
>the American Library Association headquarters in Chicago. The first
>offering of the course is May 11th & 12th and potential instructors are
>encouraged to
>attend this offering. More information about workshop registration is
>available at: http://www.ala.org/alcts/events/
>
>SUPPORT FROM HOME INSTITUTION

>Travel expenses to attend the IDS are not reimbursed by CLW. When leading
>a workshop, instructors will receive travel expenses (and optionally an
>honorarium) from the sponsoring organization.
>

>* Knowledge of current cataloging rules and standards as they apply to
>digital objects.
