Abstract

The IMLS DCC Project has continued progress on goals during this performance period. With the extension of the grant for 2 more years (effective 1 October 2005) we have made changes in project staff and steering committee members. We have begun an update of our web services and interface, migrating from a research project-oriented site and look-and-feel to a more production-oriented public interface. We have begun work to integrate item-level and collection-level metadata searching and have created and are planning testing of a prototype of that new design. Our project has been actively disseminating results and reaching out to projects, providing advice on metadata design and implementation. Whitepapers covering most of the major results from the first 3 years of the project have been posted on our Website. Preliminary research on making collection and item-level metadata records useful in K-12 context is underway. We continue to interview participating projects and add new projects to the Collection Registry.
