Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians

This document is meant to supplement the American Library Association’s Core Competences of Librarianship. The revision team worked during 2023 to update the 2017 document. Their effort was informed by 2022 survey about the current usage of the Core Competencies document and potential changes and additions to the document. The revision team incorporated competencies relating to artificial intelligence and large language models, emphasized ethics, and moved the examples to an appendix for easier updating over time.
