Facet publishers recently accepted the
manuscript “Managing metadata in integrated discovery systems” for publication
this year. A chapter in this book
entitled Outsourcing metadata: Navigating
the generation and receipt of metadata in integrated discovery systems was
written by Sacred Heart’s Librarian, Laurie Tarulli.
About the book:
Integrated discovery systems allow different libraries to share their
metadata records widely and bring together collections from different libraries
across the world. In an increasingly collaborative and cloud-based environment,
what are the implications of using shared metadata? How do we maintain shared
records that reflect the needs, languages, and identities of culturally and ethnically
varied communities? In a Google-dominated search environment, we need to
provide access to library resources via a variety of non-library discovery
tools. In other words, we must manage metadata both within, across, and
outside, library discovery tools by converting our library metadata to linked
open data that all systems can access.
