Have You Met (a) Data? Why Metadata Is Important

In this session of Metadata Matters, attendees will gain an overview of what metadata is, different types of metadata with examples, and how metadata is used in libraries, archives, and our daily lives. Attendees will learn about the importance of good-quality metadata and try to create some metadata of their own.
