ETL505

Were just a few weeks into ETL505, and its quite interesting as I come to grips with the whole concept of biblographic information.

Metadata - I never heard the term before doing this unit, but I was amazed by the straightforwardness of the definition "Information about information".

I think biblographic information is important - We know to the key details of an item within a collection, particularly if we need to locate it. Like music, a book or a website or any item can have the same title, but have different content with it and more likely than not presented in different formats.

Anyways, I'll be back a little later to comment on the information that I come across.
