[OAI-general] Fw: Metadata Creation Survey for creating better tools

[Tim Cole]

While not directly related to the PMH, this will be of interest to many
of us looking at automated and semi-automated approaches to metadata
generation. If you have a few minutes this month to fill out this
survey, it would help insure the quality and completeness of results
reported out to the Library of Congress (among others).
