Title:  If I ran the SharePoint Zoo

Abstract:

Metadata can be a scary word for those who don’t know what it means, much less know its value or how it can be used.  Getting end users out of the habit of using folders and to start using metadata is a hard transition. In this session, we will explore some of the ways to set up, use, sort, and view metadata. Learn ways to make it easy for your end users and they finally can see the value in it over folder set up. Finally, we will test out using metadata in a simple set up side by side with folders to truly test the advantages.
