2024 Core Forum

The Core Competencies for Cataloging & Metadata Professional Librarians provides an important framework to assess professional-level cataloging and metadata skills, knowledge, and behavior. This presentation will introduce attendees to the revised (as of 2023) Core Competencies document and discuss ways it can be utilized for professional growth, mentoring, employee evaluation, and curriculum assessment. Additionally, presenters will facilitate an interactive exercise that will offer attendees a template for evaluating their own or employees cataloging and metadata proficiency.
