ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia on Sunday, January 26th from 8:30 to

the development and review of standards concerning networked resources and
metadata in conjunction with the divisions' committees and sections, other
units within ALA, and relevant outside agencies; and develops programs and
fosters and sponsors education and training opportunities that contribute
to and enhance an understanding of networked resources and metadata, their
identity, content, technology, access, control, and use.

*Tools for metadata librarians, including those for creation and/or
transformation
*Demos or light tutorials on tools
*Top-level overviews of tools/mechanisms for use in managing metadata
