I always find it interesting to see what search terms people use to find what they are looking for (or not looking for). On that note, I thought I would share a quick behind the scenes of keyword searching for my article, The Effect of Automation on Academic Library Staffing: A Discussion . There is no abstract or keywords attached to this title, so the results are truly from within the fulltext searching. These stats are generated through the Bpress statistics tool.

This first chapter outlines the book but also includes a nice overview of metadata and how it fits into the web at large (and really all of the records we create). If you are new to metadata or interested in learning how metadata works on the web (& perhaps, try a few projects), you are definitely the audience we were targeting.While the context of the book is library related, the projects can easily be done by individuals, institutions, or businesses.

Early on I was on a committee that was charged with writing metadata standards using qualified Dublin Core (DC) for what would become the Institutional Repository for the Univ. System of Georgia Libraries.I worked on other parts of this initial project (Technical Oversight, Portal Design) too. Anyhow, I am particularly proud of how dedicated and diligent this group is in archiving institutional knowledge.

Really interesting story of one family's attempt to digitize and archive their photographs (http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/07/one-familys-personal-digital-archives-project/))  but what I found most interesting is that their challenges mirror what my family has been through with this process. I also found it interesting that they decided to use Picasa (Google software) for image editing.
