This 2 hour mini-workshop is intended for advanced Bridge users and will demonstrate how to perform batch embedded metadata creation, export and import in Adobe Bridge. Participants should already be familiar with using Bridge - basic navigation and functions will not be covered. Participants should also have moderate experience using Microsoft Excel.

The workshop will include hands-on exercises focused on efficiency, such as the use of templates to speed data entry for frequently used information such as institutional contact, and rights details. Exercises will also demonstrate how to export and import embedded metadata using tab-delimited text so it can be moved to or from a database.

Participants will benefit most from the hands-on exercises if they bring a laptop with Adobe Bridge CS 4, or higher installed. Participants without laptops will be able to follow and learn from the demonstrations on the projector screen.
