XML for Librarians Workshop
CLA-ACTSS and NCTPG are co-sponsoring a full day workshop titled XML for Librarians, to be held at Santa Clara University on May 30th. XML, extensible markup language, is becoming increasingly more important as librarians provide metadata for their digital collections. This workshop is oriented toward the library environment, and will be especially useful to catalogers and digital librarians.
Eric Lease Morgan is the featured speaker. Eric is a frequent speaker on issues of technology in libraries and currently is Head of Digital Access and Information Architecture at the University Libraries at Notre Dame University. He is also the CEO of Infomotions, a company which provides consulting, teaching, and computer programming services to libraries, librarians, and library organizations.
This workshop will introduce participants to the extensible markup language (XML) through numerous examples, demonstrations and structured hands-on exercises. Participants will be able to:
- list the six rules governing the syntax of XML documents
- create their own XML markup language
- write XML documents using a plain test editor
- apply page layout to typographical techniques to XML documents using cascading style sheets
- create simple XML documents using a number of XML vocabularies such as XHTML, TEI, or EAD
A maximum of 35 participants will be attending. Cost is $95 dollars ; $80 dollars for CLA and NCTPG members.
