Managing metadata, managing hybridity

The OCLC Research Library Partners Metadata Managers Focus Group met in June 2021 to consider together the impact of the changes brought about by remote working. The group discussed how they have managed changes, what they have learned through them, and which are likely  to stick and why. Metadata managers from 40 institutions across seven countries shared their observations and experiences, demonstrating both continuation of and evolution from the issues they and their staff have been working through since library spaces and services were initially disrupted in 2020.
