Metadata Policy Committee

The Metadata Policy Committee will meet regularly to discuss and formulate recommendations to Library Cabinet regarding metadata standards and practices utilized throughout the Libraries at Emory.  Through strategic approaches that emphasize the interconnectedness of library search and discovery systems, the committee will oversee metadata creation and management and its use in search and discovery systems.  To this end, the committee will be responsible for creating and maintaining an overall unified metadata strategy for all the Emory Libraries including establishing and maintaining consistent metadata standards, advising Emory Library projects utilizing metadata schemas, strategizing with Library Technology and Digital Strategies on search and discovery systems, and monitoring emerging trends and changes to metadata standards.  This committee will oversee three sub-committees: Catalog and Authority Sub-Committee, the Preservation Repository Metadata Sub-Committee, and the Archival Description Sub-Committee.
