Abstract

This article describes the uses and advantages of using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines for cataloging electronic texts. The TEI guidelines have been developed through an international and collaborative effort, and their applications in digital libraries such as the University of Virginia Electronic Text Center have required close collaboration between catalogers and humanities computing researchers. Detailed description and examples of the TEI header, a vehicle for meta-information written in SGML and the part of the TEI scheme most useful to librarians, are provided. Possible congruence between TEI headers and USMARC records implies that granularity of the TEI header and flexibility of the MARC record are simultaneously improved.
