Metadata Plus: How Libraries Assure Discovery of Locally Created
Content This presentation offers a simple illustration of the
ways html code, metadata tagging and other strategies enable
content discovery. It contains examples that can be understood
by anyone familiar with a bibliographic record. Librarians who
grasp these concepts will be well-prepared to convince faculty
that the library is both a safe and sustainable archive for
their work, and that placing content with the library is more
likely to lead to its discovery than any personal web space.
