Services and Resources
DRP works with content providers to create sustainable, scalable strategies for the creation of quality metadata that makes digital resources easy to find, use and preserve. When available, descriptive metadata is re-used from existing sources such as catalog records and finding aids, while technical and preservation metadata is added by staff during the reformatting process. Metadata records are structured to follow national standards and best practices, using established schemas and thesauri when possible. DRP values customer service and efficiency in metadata production, implementing a flexible, project-based approach to balance standardization with customization.
