4. External Relationships

metadata, special collections

Following this session, participants will be able to reassess their understanding of librarian-created metadata to include more collaborative models, and will learn about a variety of technologies and workflows that make a collaborative cataloging project possible.

Libraries have neither the time nor the resources to fully catalog all special collections and unique publications in their collections. This session will highlight several innovative projects that seek to enhance the discoverability of special collections and artist publications through cataloging collaborations between librarians, content creators, and scholars.
