Forwarding to the Archives list in case this is of interest to some, with apologies in advance for those who've received it from another venue. The forum was quite engaging and fruitful, and I'd especially recommend the podcasts of Dennis Meissner and Tom Hyry presenting on minimal, or extensible (a label coined by Max Evans) processing as of potential interest to Archives listservers. Also, for those of you interested in access to digital materials, Michael Winkler's presentation on PennTags, social bookmarking combined with Univ. of Pennsylvania's library resources, was really stimulating to me personally, especially his characterization of the need for designing "side-by-side" architectures for digital libraries. If you were at SAA in Washington and happened to attend the "Finding Aids: The Next Generation" session on Sat. morning, Michael's presentation at the RLG Forum dovetails very nicely with Peter Van Garderen's thought-provoking whirlwind tour through Web 2.0 access paradigms and some of their implications for online archival information delivery.

Subject: [metadataLibrarians] Podcasts available - RLG Partners Forum: "More, Better, Faster, Cheaper: The Economics of Descriptive Practice"
"I have been joking with my colleagues that the forum was like reading a year's worth of professional literature ... and far more entertaining." - Forum Attendee Feedback
On August 7th and 8th, RLG Programs held the Forum: "More, Better, Faster,
Cheaper: The Economics of Descriptive Practice" at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC. Sixteen invited speakers elaborated on how they manage to do more with less at their respective institutions ranging from libraries and archives to museums for an audience of over 125 attendees in the beautiful Folger Elizabethan Theatre. The podcasts (downloadable mp3
files) of the forum are now available at http://www.rlg.org/en/page.php?Page_ID=20968, alongside powerpoint presentations, handouts and speaker notes.
You may also find more information about the forum at hangingtogether.org - the organizers and moderators Merrilee Proffitt and Günter Waibel (both Program Officers, RLG Programs/OCLC) blogged daily about the unfolding
