I'm pleased to announce the first release of the "Registry of Digital Masters Record Creation Guidelines": http://www.diglib.org/collections/reg/reg.htm The Registry of Digital Masters is intended to assist with access to digital materials as well as to provide a tool to help librarians reduce duplication of digitization and preservation efforts. The Registry is available through OCLC WorldCat and is based on the DLF Digital Registry documents and MARC 21. Created by a DLF/OCLC working group, the Guidelines can be used to create metadata for born digital and digitized monographs and serials, including materials that an organization will digitize in the near future. To be listed in the Registry, materials must be digitized according to standards and best practices with preservation in mind. David
