White Manipulating Metadata to Enhance Access
The webinar discusses enhancing access to metadata through a hybrid library environment at NIST, focusing on the transition from print to digital resources and the implementation of an e-resource management system. Key topics include strategies for optimizing metadata for better user experience, lessons learned from the process, and the importance of consistency and adaptability. NIST aims to promote U.S. innovation by improving measurement science and technology through effective resource management.
