Vision
“The proposed library will be an electronic journal of peer-reviewed educational
resources for the teaching community. It will be analogous to an electronic journal of
peer-reviewed scientific articles for the research community.”
From NSF proposal 1997
Underlying Principles
• Curriculum Guidelines• Peer-Review• Clearinghouse
Metadata Demystify
Identify Cataloguing Information
Resource is Not Worth Collecting IF It Can’t Be
FOUND
SHARED
The NEED for Cataloguing Information
• Authors - Name and Describe
• Librarians - Organize
• Users - Browse and Find
BEN Cataloguing Requirements
7 Groupings– General
– Life Cycle
– Technical
– Educational
– Rights
– Classification
– Metadata
BEN Cataloguing
• General - title, catalogue entry, language and description
• Life cycle – status, contributor, publication date
• Technical – file format and location
• Education – resource type, user type and educational level
BEN Cataloguing
• Rights – copyright and access fees
• Classification – life science disciplines, content or curriculum standards, and pedagogical use
• Meta-metadata – alliteration of metadata – author and publication date

• Don’t know how to describe
• Cost too much
Consider…
• BEN Specifications• Professional Society
Uniqueness• Authors and
Reviewers
Two Types of Cataloguing Data
ContextualRequires judgment
(unique)• Unique information
– Title, author, description, audience
• Default information– Language, rights, fees,
publication date
InherentExtracted from digital
resource itself• File type
• File size
