Workshop Description:

This workshop will provide attendees with hands-on training in the use 
of Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS).We will discuss why MODS 
was created, its features, and some of the advantages of using it in an 
archival context.We will use real-world examples to create actual XML 
examples using MODS.We will create both item- and collection-level 
records.We will also discuss the relationship of MODS to the Metadata 
Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) and XSLT.I will provide "on 
the ground" examples from my experience as project manager for the 
W.E.B. Du Bois Digitization Project at UMass-Amherst.

Requirements:

Attendees should bring a laptop to the workshop with a download of the 
30-day trial version of oXygen XML editor for use.
