Challenges, 2
We need tools to support the creation of collection descriptions and their maintenance and use
- Commission/share online tools or info about the tools available. These need to facilitate description creation, downloading, integration, and targeting at users
- Collection users, creators/owners, managers don’t appear to have time to keep descriptions up to date
- There is a huge mountain of new e-materials piling up…. we need to get on top of this at the point of creation, and trace through as collection moves to delivery home or preservation facility
- International standard preferable to UK-only standard
