==== Introduction ====

These Metadata Guidelines were written to better position UMass Amherst Libraries' Digital Collections for optimal indexing and display in an aggregated environment. The guidelines accomplish the following:
  * Define basic metadata principles
  * Collate resources (e.g. links to external cataloging tools/resources, including the MWG bibliography on shareable metadata)
  * Provide content guidelines for different data elements
  * Identify data elements by degrees of “requiredness” and describe what functions are enabled or sacrificed depending on levels of adoption
