Hi all, For our preconference, “Digging into Metadata,” we’d like to get a little discussion going to build on once the preconference rolls around. A good part of our discussion will focus on metadata issues and how folks have worked through said issues or have utilized metadata in an unique way while keeping the metadata’s context in mind. Some example include: - Dirty data issues when switching discovery layers or using legacy/vendor metadata (ex. HathiTrust) - Dealing with free text in MARC records and how to parse them w/o too much heartache - batch creating and editing metadata Some of you have already touched on this in the last preconference email thread, but we'd like to get some more examples to focus on. What are your metadata war stories? Thanks, Becky --------------------- Becky Yoose Systems Librarian Grinnell College
