METS is a standard that is used widely for digitization projects for both presentation and preservation of digital content. This class introduces the features of METS and how it is used as an information package to include metadata and digital content. It describes the parts of a METS document, how different metadata schemes are used with it, and how it is implemented in digital library projects. It also addresses the purpose and creation of METS application profiles, which detail best practices for specific implementations.

Learning Outcomes:

• Outline how METS facilitates access to and preservation of digital materials
  
• Understand how features of XML structure are used to package metadata and content
  
• Understand how different institutions implement METS
  

This class will be held in the Lyrasis Adobe Connect meeting room. Log-in information will be emailed approximately one week before the course.
