Abstract

Librarians face many challenges related to managing metadata for e-book collections. Challenges such as managing and merging records from multiple sources, customizing URLs and managing ongoing updates and deletes are not supported by traditional cataloging workflows developed for record-by-record cataloging. New tools now help librarians save time and increase access to e-book collections.
