Texas State Library and Archives Commission

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission, with the University of North Texas Libraries, Amigos Library Services, and other partners, will develop Train to Share, a workshop program under the Texas Heritage Digitization Initiative (THDI) for Texas librarians and other cultural heritage professionals. The three-year project will develop state-wide workshops, adapted from the Library of Congress “Cataloging for the 21st Century” series, to provide training on interoperability measures of digitization projects, and principles of sharable metadata developed in a project previously funded by IMLS. As a result, cultural heritage institutions will provide better access to their rare and unique materials and will forge new sustainable partnerships vital to the ongoing development of digital projects across the state.
