Abstract
The UNT Libraries manage digital collections comprising more than 4 million items, creating challenges for assessing and improving descriptive metadata quality. Previously, we introduced an iterative model called EPIC (evaluate, prioritize, identify, correct) to guide ongoing assessment work. This paper focuses on changes to infrastructure that have been introduced to support each step in this framework as a case study for ways that other organizations might envision or plan similar work.
