Spectra, Simmons’ LGBT+ affinity group, is having an open meeting followed by the first of our 4th Friday Film series. Come join us at M513 (School of Management) to meet our members and discuss ideas for events, activities, or trips to take with the organization. After the meeting, which will last until 7, we will watch The Watermelon Woman, the black lesbian directed comedic romance featuring archival research/creation (by Cheryl Dunye) that got the National Endowment for the Arts in a tiff with congressional Republicans. See you there!

The two-week course, LIS 445, will cover the theory and practice of metadata as it is applied to digital collections. It will provide students with a comprehensive overview of current metadata standards in the library, archives, and visual resources communities and offer them an opportunity to get hands-on practice using selected standards. It will examine the role of metadata in the discovery, delivery, administration, and preservation of digital objects and consider current and emerging issues in metadata.
