>
>The Library of Congress and the Association for Library Collections
>& Technical

>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. A resulting recommendation was the
>development of
>training and continuing education to improve Web resource bibliographic
>control. The Cataloger's Learning Workshop (CLW) was established as a
>clearinghouse for cataloging and metadata training. 'Metadata and Digital
>Library Development' 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 and Digital Library Development' is a two-day workshop
>with the goal

>projects. Topics covered include:

>INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR

>The objective of the Instructor Development Seminar (IDS) is to develop
