3 February 2023 | Virtual Event
The February 2023 session in this semi-annual virtual event series offered updates on current topics of interest and ample opportunity for interaction with cataloging community speakers and OCLC staff. We started by discussing the essential work happening to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in library metadata; advancing cataloging workflows; and enhancing WorldCat metadata quality.
