We are trying to find out what other archives/language centers do to make their collections available (and findable to users). 1. What do you use to to create metadata for your audio files? What metadata do you collect? 2. What data management/cataloguing system do you use? Vendor-specific? Open Source? 3. What standards are unique to Audio Archives? In what schema are they being used? (E.g., OLAC, IMDI, etc.) 4. How many catalogues are available online? 5. What kind of rights management is involved? (I.e., the UC/LA has materials that can only be used by students on campus--and other materials that are available to anyone who asks.) Separate vendor? Built-in? I will summarize if there is interest (and if I get replies off-list).
