I have finished revamping my day-long, hands-on, XML workshop
distribution. It includes a large set of sample data, style sheets,
and scripts (for transforming, indexing, harvesting, & serving) for
downloading:
XML is about distributing data and information unambiguously.
Through this hands-on workshop you will learn: 1) what XML is,
and 2) how it can be used to build library collections and
faciliate library services in our globally networked environment.

The distribution is designed to be facilitated by an instructor, but
it could just as well be used as the basis of a self-paced tutorial.
