Metadata Harvesting with MarcEdit

Last time, when I harvested DSpace metadata with MarcEdit, it only lasted around 3 minutes. From the test on yesterday, it went well even though I only did a small collection.

It is important to ensure consistent metadata and access to those digital collections, especially during the period of senior seminars. A simple and clear processing manual should be written to train staff or student assistants how to create metadata, publish theses and harvest metadata with MarcEdit. I am also interested in harvesting metadata with other software. I hope I can hear some good news from Claude in Montreal soon!

This is a really busy and nice summer. I am glad back to work even though the beginning of the semester is over crowed on campus.

The other exciting is my NITLE Technology Fellowship started in July. Because of the scheduling, I missed the Technology Fellow Workshop on July 21-23 at Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. But I was able to make it up in August via MIV (Multipoint Interactive Videoconferencing). I met a couple of NITLE Technology Fellows on MIV. Actually, MIV will be my major classroom in the future. I really get excited about what I should teach there ...
