Class Participation Assignments Due (Forum Posts)	Consider EAD as project subject (Pick 3) Description: As the reading for this week indicates - "EAD stands for Encoded Archival Description, and is a non-proprietary de facto standard for the encoding of finding aids for use in a networked (online) environment." Several students in the class have already created EAD documents as part of their work in the Metadata class. Others have not. Your assignment is to consider the attractiveness of choosing EAD as the subject of your project for this class. If you already have experience with EAD, your post should address what parts of EAD that you would wish to explore further in your project. If you have not worked with EAD, your post should address the benefits that you would anticipate from hands-on experience with EAD. Submit to: Final Project (Pick 3) – EAD Consider EPUB as project subject (Pick 3) Description: After reviewing the assigned readings on EPUB, consider choosing EPUB as the subject of your project. Your post should note the ways in which EPUB might relate to your current or future job responsibilities. Also, please note the ways in which you might find EPUB an interesting subject.
