Information Industry News and Resources from Gary Price
Here’s a timely, interesting, educational, useful, and fun (really!) introduction to metadata from Scientific American.
It was as written by Bonnie Swoger, a sci-tech librarian at SUNY Geneseo.
The article might be a great resource to share at the beginning of a training session or whenever a brief intro to the topic is needed.
Well done Bonnie! Superb!
