A collection-level description provides an overview of an aggregation of items - and such an overview may be useful in a wide range of contexts. Resources such as directories and guides of various forms are often sets of collection-level descriptions gathered together on the basis of the geographical location of the collections or the subject material of the items in the collections. The administrator or owner of a collection should not be required to re-describe their holdings each time they create an entry for such a resource. The requirement for "reusability" is, then, an important consideration in the creation of collection-level descriptions. The Workshop will combine presentation sessions with discussions in smaller groups. There is no charge for this event. Further details and a booking form are available at http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/cd-focus/events/ws2/ We look forward to seeing you.
