Cataloging/Metadata strengths

    Hello all,

    Apologies if this is very vague and if this isn't the best community to post -

    but do Cataloging and Metadata specialists have different strengths, weaknesses or 'bends'?  I mean, can a cataloger do well in one library setting (academic or medical) but may not adapt as well in another library setting (corporate, school or public)?

    I think a cataloger can adapt - but in terms of thriving in certain library types...  I'm not sure.

    I guess I'm looking at this from an Industrial/Organization Pysch approach.  

    I'm very curious as to others' thoughts and opinions.

    Thanks
    Richard
