The UNTL Metadata Guidelines: [Version-2, 2006]
Date: 2006
Creator: Alemneh, Daniel Gelaw; Belden, Dreanna; Hartman, Cathy Nelson; Phillips, Mark Edward & Reis, Nancy
Description: This paper discusses the The University of North Texas Libraries' (UNTL) metadata guidelines. The UNTL Metadata Initiative progressed on many fronts in 2005 and 2006, including testing and implementation of the UNTL metadata system, on which The Portal to Texas History system is based. As the metadata work group gains practical experience in describing objects with the recommended elements, the UNTL metadata system continues to evolve. This (verson-2) guideline is a product of a series of revision activities. It should be noted that in order to comply with changing internal and external standards and needs, the UNTL metadata creation guideline will remain under continuous review.

Needs Assessment Toolkit: Guidelines and Data Collection Tools
Date: May 31, 2005
Creator: Murray, Kathleen
Description: This report is part of the Web-at-Risk project. The Web-at-Risk project is one of eight digital preservation projects funded in 2004 by the Library of Congress. Each of the projects represents a collaborative effort to preserve for future generations born-digital or digitized cultural heritage materials and collections. The Web-at-Risk project is a 3-year collaborative effort of the California Digital Library, the University of North Texas (UNT), and New York University. The project will develop a Web Archiving Service that enables curators to build collections of web-published materials. The content will be collected largely from US federal and state government agencies, but will also include political policy documents, campaign literature, and information surrounding political movements. The project work will be conducted along four paths of overlapping activities. The Web-at-Risk Project work paths include (1) Content identification, selection, and acquisition; (2) Content harvest and analysis; (3) Content ingest, retention, and transfer; and (4) Partnership building.
