ALCTS webinar: Metadata Enriching and Discovery

Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: 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. And 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:

   linking, openness and filtering.

where he developed a theory of metadata enriching and filtering. He is
currently a Cataloguing & Metadata Librarian at Solent University, UK. He
co-authored a book entitled “An Emergent Theory of Digital Library
Metadata: Enrich then Filter" (Chandos Publishing, 2015), published on the
