Final Project: Select a significant topic in organizing library resources (non-book), in the areas of descriptive cataloging, controlled vocabularies, and metadata schemes. The project should include a list of at least 12 citations with summary notes to each citation. Prepare and present your findings in 15 minutes in class. A copy of presentation file should be submitted along with citations and summaries. For example: Other vocabulary and classification systems (e.g., National Library of Medicine (NLM) Classification, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), Social metadata such as user-contributed vocabularies, etc.) Metadata schemas such as: Visual Resources Association (VRA) Core, Online Information Exchange (ONIX), Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) headers, Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM), etc. Issues and problems in descriptive cataloging, access and authority control of electronic resources, other non-book formats, and image collections.
