When I go to Debre Berhan, the first thing I will do is donate books to this awesome library. 🙏

Kids reading, playing cards and the string instrument at the library ያነባሉ፤ የሙዚቃ መሳሪያ ይጫወታሉ። ካርታም አወጥተው መጫወት ጀምረዋል። የወለጋ ልጆች በደብረብርሃን

@infogamerist and I workshopped Cataloguing Code of Ethics. It's not another thing for cataloguers to do. You are already thinking about your users and how your decisions and practice affect search and discovery. #CILIPMDG2023 presentations demonstrate this commitment 🙂.

Agnieszka used LoC Authorities to look up & assign appropriate subject headings for the archived websites, these were then cross-referenced with FAST so that FAST headings & URIs could be added as well #CILIPMDG23

Archives described by EAD can be shared with @archiveshub to further enhance discoverability. Solent University have used the Archives Hub Editor to make the archival works of Philip Mackie and Ken Russell available. archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/searc… archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/searc… #CILIPMDG23

Poor or a lack of metadata leads to a lack of visibility for collections and for metadata staff, this leads to a lack of knowledge about both which, in turn can lead to a lack of staffing in these areas as the value of metadata & metadata staff are not well understood #CILIPMDG23

Metadata from the @britishmuseum was exported in csv format (with their permission!) and then transformed and assessed against the @britishlibrary's existing metadata #CILIPMDG23

Existing metadata for prints in the @britishlibrary catalogue contained a 019 field- this is a citation for the printed British Library General Catalogue of 1975! #CILIPMDG23

Solent Uni Library also wanted these archival collections discoverable via the Library Catalogue, Primo. They initially used OAI-PMH to feed the metadata into primo directly #CILIPMDG23

@getaneha prefaces his paper by explaining that he is not an archivist but a library metadata specialist - but there are common goals related to enabling discovery and access to collections across both sectors #CILIPMDG23

The impact was increased discoverability of the archival collections via Archives Hub Google and the University Library's Catslogue, improving access and usage #CILIPMDG23

Alan leaves us with these key takeaways: Metadata is an institutional asset • Good metadata repays the investment over a long period of time Metadata loses value over time unless maintained to: • Adapt to changing user expectations • Adapt to new technologies #CILIPMDG23
