Metadata: Principles and Practice
1 May 2013
This course is for library/information workers and demystifies the concept of metadata, showing how and why they are used, in various environments. A variety of commonly-used metadata formats will be demonstrated, for example, Dublin Core, and AACR/MARC – and the way in which metadata creation relates to the “traditional” library/information tasks of indexing and cataloguing will be outlined.

Assessing our Worth
23 May 2013
Demonstrating the value provided by information and library services has never been more important. In difficult economic circumstances, any part of an organisation which cannot demonstrate its value, in terms which are convincing to top management, will find problems.
Information services have too often relied on an assumption that they are essential, or on 'soft' measures of user approval.
This course describes and exemplifies some ways in which libraries and information services have gone about trying to go beyond this: by showing their financial value, by showing that they make a real difference to the work and the lives of their users, and by showing in detail how and why they bring benefits.
