ALCTS e-Forum: Cataloging and Metadata Education

March 20-21, 2018

Moderated by Christopher Dieckman, Erin Elzi, and Janelle Zetty

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

To maintain relevance in a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex
information landscape, cataloging and metadata specialists must continually
reassess formal L.I.S. education and its relationship to their work. This
e-forum intends to address the current state of postgraduate education in
cataloging and metadata and its efficacy in preparing students for
professional practice. Topics may include, but are not limited to, how
cataloging and metadata is covered in library science courses, whether this
information is applicable with current demands, and what we can do to
change or contribute to it.

Moderators

Christopher Dieckman is a Metadata & Cataloging Librarian at Iowa State
University. In addition to other projects, he oversees the copy cataloging

Erin Elzi is the Design and Discovery Librarian at the University of
Denver. Prior to this, she held the position of Cataloging and Metadata

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
