Metadata Across Libraries, Archives, and Museums
Category: Clippings
From Current Cites (March 2007):
Elings, Mary W., and Gunter Waibel. “Metadata for All: Descriptive Standards and Metadata Sharing across Libraries, Archives, and Museums” First Monday 12(3)(March 2007). - This informative article begins by describing a conceptual model that precisely identifies and describes the key components of any metadata standard: data fields and structure, data content and values, data format, and data exchange. Using these concepts, the authors then construct a grid for appropriate metadata standards from the museum, library, and archival communities in each of these areas. By classifying standards from these communities using their conceptual model, they hope to make the soup of acronyms more understandable. The grid also serves to demonstrate how related these different communities are in their needs for the same types of metadata standards. The piece also provides a brief history of metadata standards in each community and takes a look at recent trends. The authors end with an assertion that the three areas would be more productively depicted as “cultural materials, bibliographic, and archival” to indicate that museums, for example, may find use for bibliographic metadata standards and vice versa. - RT

Becoming a Library Ambassador: Getting Involved Outside the Library
Category: Clippings
From “Becoming a Library Ambassador: Getting Involved Outside the Library” by Julie Edwards (Info Career Trends, March 2007):
Becoming a “library ambassador” means moving out of the building, getting involved locally, and building relationships with the larger community. It may not come easily to many, or even most of us, and I admit that I sometimes have to muster the energy and courage to leave my cozy library and venture out into the world. Still, my job involves a lot of public relations work, and working as a library ambassador has been good for me professionally and personally. It has helped me understand the needs and desires of my city, meet new and interesting people who are important in community life, and advocate for my library in different and exciting ways.
