NOAA's National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC) is pleased to
announce the new schedule of its popular free online metadata training
series. NCDDC will offer two courses, "Intro to ISO" and, "Transition to
ISO Metadata" in weekly, hour-long webinars beginning in November 2013.

The "Intro to ISO" one-hour weekly webinars will begin November 5 and be
taught each Tuesday through December 17, 2013. A second series of "Intro to
ISO" will be offered January 16 -March 6, 2014. A "Transition to ISO" series
will begin November 7 and be taught each Thursday through December
19, 2013. A second series of the "Transition to ISO" will be offered
January 14 -February 25, 2014.

In an environment of declining budgets and travel limitations, online
training has proven to be a successful way to keep data managers informed
about the latest metadata standards and tools. So far in 2013, NCDDC has
held five training series with 822 individuals from 42 countries on six
continents participating. More information about the training, including
course descriptions, can be found at
