OCLC Terminologies Service
Looks like an interesting Free Friday Forum
August 11 2006, 10-11 a.m. Introduction to OCLC Terminologies Service (Regan Harper, BCR trainer) The OCLC Terminologies Service provides access to multiple controlled vocabularies to help you create consistent metadata for your library, museum or archive collections. Using the Terminologies Service improves access to your library materials and increases visibility of your collection. This powerful new metadata creation tool helps you easily catalog both digital and traditional hardcopy materials. The service brings multiple thesauri together into a single interface - to save you time and improve metadata creation. If you are interested in learning more about the OCLC Terminologies Service, join us for this one hour presentation.
