Sydney Library librarian joins an international group of metadata experts

Posted on 1 April 2016 by Library Communications

1 April 2016

Jenny Langenstrass has recently become a member of the Metadata Managers Focus Group, a part of the OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), a global library cooperative.

The OCLC staff, left to right: Dennis Massie (Program Officer), Constance Malpas (Research Scientist), Jenny Langenstrass and Roy Tennant (Senior Program Officer).

By Agata Mrv-Montoya

Since 1967 OCLC has been conducting research, sharing technology services, and running advocacy campaigns for the library community internationally. Among many initiatives, OCLC, in collaboration with its member libraries, has been producing and maintaining WorldCat. Combining the collections of 72,000 libraries in 170 countries and territories, WorldCat is the largest online public access catalogue in the world.

The role of the Metadata Managers Focus Group, comprising an international group of industry experts and chaired by Karen Smith-Yoshimura (OCLC Program Officer), is to identify metadata management issues for OCLC Research Library Partnership. These issues, such as the impact of identifiers on authority workflows, and collecting and curating research data, are at the core of making information more useful and accessible to scholars and researchers.

Congratulations to Jenny on becoming a member of an international group of metadata experts and good luck in driving the development of new metadata standards!
