The return on investment for academic libraries is chiefly tied to access, usage, and impact. Without accurate, consistent, and quality metadata on the one hand, and an easy-to-use and effective discovery service on the other, these valuable resources may remain invisible and inaccessible to users. In this webinar, four overarching metadata principles, namely metadata enriching, linking, openness, and filtering, are presented. In addition, presenters will examine how these ideas help shape the metadata creation and discovery services at Solent University—focusing on the implementation of RDA and FRBR as well as the use of subject authority headings and authority controls.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the webinar, the attendees should be able to get acquainted with the emerging metadata principles metadata enriching, linking, openness, and filtering.
Who Should Attend
This webinar would be of interest to librarians, students of librarianship, and catalogers.
