Have

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
