Carrie,

Have you seen Gunter Waibel's article about metadata standards in Libraries, Archives and Museums?

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Metadata Standards

We are in the process of upgrading our catalog and as part of this we are looking at possibly changing our metadata standard.
We currently use MARC, because when the system was developed years ago that was all that was available to us.  While the data gurus are happy for us to stay with MARC (because they admit it will be less work for them), they will help us change to another standard that is available.

I've looked into CDWA and CCO.  But I was hoping that there might be another institution that has taken the plunge and would be willing to share their experience.
If you are willing to share, please feel free to contact me off list.

Thank you,
Carrie Snow
