6 Metadata for collections allows users to discover collections of interest allows users to perform searches across multiple collections allows software to perform such tasks based on user preferences.

7 Collections metadata in use California Digital Library elib phase 3: Hybrid libraries Large Scale Resource Discovery (Clumps) projects ROADS collection descriptions
