A library is a library is a library?

Digital Library Virtual Library A “library without walls” in which the collections do not exist on paper, … or other tangible form at a physical location but are electronically accessible in digital format via computer networks. - - Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science http://lu.com/odlis/

Digital Library A library in which a significant proportion of the resources are available in machine-readable format … accessible by means of computers. The digital content may be locally held or accessed remotely via computer networks. In libraries, the process of digitization began with the catalog, moved to periodical indexes and abstracting services, then to periodicals and large reference works, and finally to book publishing. - - Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science http://lu.com/odlis/

Metadata Webopedia defines: “ Data about data. Metadata describes how and when and by whom a particular set of data was collected, and how the data is formatted. Metadata is essential for understanding information stored in data warehouses and has become increasingly important in XML-based Web applications.”

ACCESS Cataloging staff participated in OCLC’s pilot project called “CORC” Harvesting metadata to start a record Create / edit in MARC tags Cross walk to Dublin Core End results: Records in OCLC (RLG), SIRIS, and traveling “CIP” data

Feedback Christopher G. Mulin Special Collections Librarian Mansfield Library, The University of Montana-Missoula Very glad you've added this-- I'm going to recommend we make an online catalog record for this link [ Horse in Blackfoot Culture ]. At our university, this gets heavy use, and only the locked Special Collections copy has reliably been available.
