Each of these meetings was a combination of instruction with hands on workshop. For 8/26 meeting Bob Scott instructed the group on some finer points of Zotero and worked with individuals on questions arising as they contributed bibliographic entries to folders in our Group Library for the Morningside Project. For our 9/9 meeting Alex Gil led a refresher session on posting items to our project site. This included a discussion of the Dublin Core fields that need to be filled out when an item is added to site. It is clear that there are conceptual issues involved in the designation of “item type” and other fields that Dublin Core requires. We will need to be thinking and talking about issues arising here, looking closely at Dublin Core definitions, thinking about subject tags, and agreeing on standards as we work. Both sessions included productive hands-on segments. In the first, group members expanded our library of bibliographic citations; and in the second we increased the number of items uploaded to our project site.
