Hi Everyone,
I happened to find this article about DPLAFest , and I thought we should be aware of how librarians and their volunteers recognize and address the importance of metadata.
"A digital collection is not just scanned photographs,” said Greta Bahnemann, metadata librarian for the Minnesota Digital Library (MDL), at the outset of “Metadata: Preventing a Digital Junk Drawer.” Metadata should essentially make up half of your collection, she said."
