This two-day workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to explore the concept and use of metadata for description of materials in general, and introduce participants to the use of Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) standard for digital resource retrieval. Participants will learn the use of Dublin Core element set, to create metadata records for digital materials.
