Insights (so far) Cultural & knowledge differences
Scientists unfamiliar with bibliographic standards and conventions
Librarians unfamiliar with NSF/NSDL environment Librarians learning new XML/OAI applications Ambiguous meanings of “library” & “cataloging”
XML Harvester collects & converts metadata Cataloging digital objects is both different &
the same as cataloging traditional resources
