Dear Professor Laxman

Thank you for your seasonal greetings. Also thank you for the useful websites.

I have found a very useful e-booklet on metadata which you and your colleagues must surely find very useful. It is on the American NISO website (they develop the standards for US library sector).

The URL is at
