The Metadata and Discovery Unit provides metadata consultation, development, and production support for students, faculty, and staff. As a center for expertise in descriptive, technical, and administrative metadata, we work with researchers at the University of Pittsburgh to support their metadata needs.
Specialists in the Metadata and Discovery Unit are available for consultations to help you start a new project, improve your metadata quality and consistency, and learn more about what metadata can do for you. Training on standards and best practices, controlled vocabularies, and data cleaning tools are also available. Contact us to make an appointment.
The Metadata and Discovery Unit is part of the University Library System’s Technical Services Department, which is located in the Library Resource Facility.
