About

The Metadata Services Program ensures the consistency and integrity of the Libraries’ structural metadata assets, including descriptive, holdings and access data related to library collections and Notre Dame scholarship. The program works across a variety of industry standards, schemes and encoding structures, and program members collaborate with others across the Libraries on collection processing, discovery and access. The Program stewards the Libraries' metadata strategy, policy and services, including key components such as assessment and analysis of metadata utilized throughout its life cycle, as well as remediating and transforming metadata to support resource discovery and services for teaching, learning and research.
