Abstract

A survey was conducted during May and early June of 2019, examining how non-MARC descriptive metadata workflows for digital projects are organized in academic libraries. It examined: (1) the extent to which cataloging librarians have transitioned to "metadata librarians"; (2) the extent to which non-MARC metadata activities are distributed within cataloging units and shared with cataloging paraprofessionals; (3) the extent to which such tasks are shared with library personnel in units outside of cataloging departments; and (4) the degree of satisfaction with metadata workflows. The present study also attempts to explore issues of concern to catalogers regarding such workflows.

摘要

在2019年5月至6月初进行了一项调查，研究了如何在大学图书馆中组织用于数字项目的非MARC描述性元数据工作流。它审查了：（1）编目图书馆员转变为“元数据图书馆员”的程度；（2）非MARC元数据活动在编目单位内分布并与编目专业人员共享的程度；（三）与编目部门以外单位的图书馆工作人员分担的工作量；（4）对元数据工作流程的满意度。本研究还试图探讨编目人员有关此类工作流程的问题。
