Metadata

I greatly enjoy my time working with metadata. When I tell people I work with
metadata, they quickly ask me
, “What exactly
is metadata?”
In
order to make collections of materials more accessible to the public, the
Library works to digitize and publish them online. As a
CLIR CCEPS Fellow, I help with the creation of descriptive metadata for these electronic
documents. It’s an enormous project with lots of people working on different
tasks. It gives me a great chance to get immersed in a piece of California
history and to help make this information more readily available to researchers
and other users.
