Metadata Update #20: April 2014 RDA updates

This blog post was originally intended to be posted in June 2014: I’ve finally gotten around to completing my reading about the April 2014 changes to RDA.   As is the case with reading the details of any descriptive cataloging standard, it’s enough to either give you a headache or put you to sleep if you try to focus on too much of the detail at once. I do have a few comments to make about this update.   First of all, many of the changes are, in my mind, just clarification of the points which help to bring metadata creation away from the world of trying to fit as much information as possible onto a little index card and into a complex international information environment.   For example, it is reinforced that for serials you don’t assume that users understand that “v.” stands for volume.   Instead, volume should be spelled out as such as should issue.   This does make sense in an international, multicultural and multi-generational environment.   Certainly, for many users “v”

Metadata Update #24 : Metadata as part of the user experience

Sometimes I find a blog post that puts into words the sorts of things that I have been trying to find a way to state for myself.  Erin Leach has written a blog post called "On metadata and user experience " which gets to the heart of many things that I have been thinking about lately: http://unifiedlibraryscene.blogspot.ca/2015/03/on-metadata-and-user-experience.html Sometimes in libraries we worry about what our discovery interfaces look like, the sorts of experiences our patrons have using them and whether the colours are attractive or not but forget about the metadata and the metadata quality which are often critical in determining whether or not patrons can find resources in the collection. I certainly have heard librarians, who work outside of cataloguing and metadata, say that they think that the new discovery layers can somehow magically "fix" problems with metadata.  There seems to be a belief that technology magically repairs records and
