METADATA
COURSE DESIGNED FOR YOU FROM THE PUBLISHING TRAINING CENTRE & IC.

Metadata
Power is crucial in maximising publisher sales through the
digital and print supply chains. This course shows how the product
information which sells books comes from right across the publishing
house and why every component is vital.

Metadata Power
14 September
This new 1/2 day course will ensure you avoid the most common
metadata errors that "hide" books from searchers.
The workshop takes the approach of starting from the “outside” (i.e.
what does the end consumer/retailer see) and then working back to the
inside (i.e. publisher) view; working from what is successful in the
market place and the metadata story behind it and by contrast looking
at the metadata story behind something less successful.
