Collection Description Focus invites you to attend the first of three regional workshops aimed at practitioners, technical and project staff. *************************************************** Collection Description Focus, Workshop 1 Thinking Collectively approaches to collections and collection description Thursday 1 November 2001 Staff House, Manchester Conference Centre, UMIST, Manchester *************************************************** Introduction This first Workshop will explore the concept of the collection, and how it is interpreted and deployed within the different traditions of information management. The Workshop will bring together a range of practitioners from different backgrounds and contexts and explore how approaches to collection description differ and what they have in common. It will examine how generic models and schemas have been implemented, and the challenges involved. It will seek to highlight where practice can be standardised and to investigate where generic approaches must give way to domain-specific methods. The Workshop will combine presentation sessions with discussions in smaller groups.
