    *Please excuse cross-postings*

    Dear colleagues,

    We are conducting a research study about the 2023 Core Competencies for Cataloging & Metadata Professional Librarians – namely, a survey of professional cataloger and metadata librarian awareness and use of the skills and knowledge competencies presented in the aforementioned document. You do not need to be familiar with the Core Competencies to complete the questionnaire.

    If you currently work as a professional cataloger or metadata librarian, we invite you to complete the questionnaire found at this link:

     

    https://dom.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5pPw1ghXgkT85Se

    Please pass the questionnaire link along to anyone or any group who might be interested in completing it.

    The questionnaire should take about 10-15 minutes to complete and no identifying information will be collected. Participants must be at least 18 years of age.  The deadline for completing the questionnaire is Wednesday, July 24.

    Thank you in advance for your help!
