You need metadata!

The MIT Libraries have created the Metadata Services Unit to provide effective metadata solutions in support of the creation of reusable collections of electronic educational resources.

Metadata will:

  • Help visitors search and browse your collections,

  • Organize complex electronic objects into effective educational resources,

  • Share copyright information with users,

  • Record critical information needed to preserve your collection over time and across new technologies,

    Come explore metadata in use at MIT in collections such as DSpace and OpenCourseWare and discover the importance of metadata for managing digital content.
