<font size=3>MIT Libraries has created a Metadata Unit that provides
services for a fee. They will consult with communities about
metadata and will also create metadata for them. They have provided
the metadata for the SMA community in MIT's DSpace. They are also
creating metadata records for MIT's OpenCourseWare using IEEE/LOM.
<br><br>
So far there has been no manual input of thesaurus-based subjects into
MIT's DSpace repository, but we have batch imported a lot of MARC records
for older items and crosswalked the metadata to DC records, preserving
the LC Subject Headings.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>MIT has suggested offering premium

implemented<br>
these premium services? And of more interest, has anyone offered
this<br>
service to communities free of charge?<br><br>
Thank you<br><br>

Question about entering keywords in to DSpace:<br><br>
This question may be premature for many on the list if you are running
a<br><br>
pilot program as we are about to here at the Unversity of DE.
Standards<br><br>
for entering keywords: is anyone using a standard (e.g., thesaurus,
<br>
LCSH, etc.) as a source for chosing keywords to enter in to DSpace?
<br>
When keywords are not available, is anyone taking keywords from the
<br>
abstract or, taking the time consuming approach and contacting the <br>
author to supply them?<br><br>
