Summary: This article describes the development of a clearinghouse for metadata teaching tools. The web hub for resources was developed to prove the need for a place to store, share, and find learning objects related to metadata. The finalized version of this hub is found at http://meric.lis.unt.edu/ , but the server is down as of this writing (Sep 3, 2008). The clearing house is still available at http://www.sir.arizona.edu/faculty/coleman/lc/final/. The Activity page is chock full of examples of tasks used in the classroom to further experience with metadata.
