The ARLIS Visual Resources Committee and Cataloguing and Classification Committee jointly present a study day aimed at both library cataloguers of print and electronic publications, who need or wish to find out about how to adapt their skills to visual resources, and at ‘ACADIans’, visual resources curators and anyone responsible for the management and discovery of digital images, whether in HE, Art Colleges, Museums, Galleries or Art Collections.
It will explore approaches to the business of cataloguing images, looking at different metadata schemas, data standards & controlled vocabularies & how these have been applied to real life resources including digital image collections, the moving image, art websites, material in digital repositories, and even primary art objects. Speakers include representatives from the museums world, Higher Education & the JISC.
Further information about the event (including the booking form) can be found from this page on the ARLIS website, or contact Clare Hemmings at C.Hemmings@soton.ac.uk
