Description

Cataloging involves creating a metadata record of a resource and putting that record in a catalog that scholars can use to browse the library’s holdings. Cataloging is a minute and exacting technical process, but results in metadata-rich records that foster discoverability (how users discover resources based on a search query) and accessibility (how users access and view a resource when they find a record for it). This presentation will demonstrate how catalogers create records using RDA and LC standards that enhance discovery and access during search queries.
