Library Cataloging
News from The IMS Global Learning Consortium. Now you can download the entire specification packages as an IMS content package. The specification package includes all specification documents as HTML and PDF, schemas/control documents, and examples.By downloading the specification as IMS packaged content, you can see what a content package looks like and how it is organized. You can also import it as a learning resource into your Content Packaging enabled learning management system or repository.These are the wilderness of cataloging.
