Abstract To determine the state of the cataloging job market, this study compares job advertisements from August 2016-August 2018 advertising for jobs with cataloging in the title, metadata in the title, and cataloging and metadata in the title. Given ongoing concerns about the impact of metadata jobs on the cataloging job market, this study asks the questions: Are cataloging jobs in fact “disappearing” and becoming metadata jobs? Are entry-level jobs disappearing, perhaps contributing to the idea that there is a lack of qualified catalogers? Is there a difference in position level between cataloging and metadata job advertisements that can account for a lack or perceived lack of available cataloging jobs? Are there more entry-level or mid/supervisory positions advertised? Are cataloging and metadata jobs really separate, or should they be considered one position called cataloging and metadata?

分析编目工作描述：编目工作是否消失，更改或合并？

摘要为了确定编目工作市场的状况，本研究比较了2016年8月至2018年8月的工作广告，这些工作广告的标题为编目，标题为元数据，标题为目录和元数据。考虑到对元数据工作对编目工作市场的影响的持续关注，本研究提出了以下问题：编目工作是否实际上“消失了”并变成了元数据工作？入门级工作是否正在消失，也许会导致缺乏合格编目员的想法？编目和元数据职位广告之间的职位级别是否存在差异，可以说明缺少或感觉不到可用的编目职位？是否有更多的入门级或中/主管职位广告？目录和元数据作业真的分开了吗？
