series to help you get started. Our workshop series is based on the
"Digital Library Environment

made possible by a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library
Services to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.

Applications
and developing systems and applications for born-digital and digitized
material. The workshop explores the following topics:
* User-Centered Design: Functional Requirements, Use Cases, and
Usability
* Components of Digital Collections: Collections Objects, Object
Metadata, and System Models
* Workflows: Creating, Acquiring, Administering, Accessing, and
Disposing of Data
* Interoperability: Protocols, standards, and transformations
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this workshop, students will be able to:
* Identify digital library design and development processes
* Understand the relationships between data/metadata and system
functionality
* Design staff workflows for using digital library systems
* Describe methods to reuse components of digital collections in
alternative systems to meet user needs
