Dear Library and Information Professionals,

We are collecting your suggestions to be used in preparing a chapter on metadata decisions for the Digital Library Guidelines, a task of the IFLA- World Digital Library Working Group on Digital Library Guidelines. The Guidelines will be developed for use by libraries and other cultural institutions around the world. The purpose of this survey is to investigate different issues, levels, and concerns regarding metadata and controlled vocabularies that need to be addressed in the Guidelines.

Please take 3-5 minutes to answer these questions on the survey available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=lRTMlZ_2bVEGf8zmNCQPS3fg_3d_3d .
Or, you can answer the same questions attached in this email and send them back to us at mzeng@kent.edu or jslee@mail.nl.go.kr.
