The Cataloging and Metadata interest group was created to work together to explore the changing environment of cataloging/metadata in libraries. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) best practices for cataloging and metadata application, technological changes impacting cataloging/metadata, changes to standards of description including bibframe/rda/linked data, and staffing and training issues relating to these changes. Overall this IG will provide a supportive community as we adapt to a changing cataloging/metadata environment.
