Hello
At University of Portsmouth Library we currently have a Metadata (cataloguing) team of 2.5 FTE Metadata Librarians (scale 4), a 0.5 FTE Metadata Library Assistant (scale 3) and a 0.67 FTE Metadata Library Processing Assistant (scale 2)
Our 0.5 Metadata Librarian post has recently become vacant and we are assessing whether to replace the post like for like or to revise our team structure.
Is anybody willing to share their metadata / cataloguing team structure with me? I am interested in the following information
- How many Metadata / Cataloguing staff do you have at different levels?
- How much of your print stock is supplied shelf ready, and do you check over your shelf ready items before putting them out?
- Do your Metadata Librarians / Cataloguers deal with print resources?
- Do your Metadata Librarians / Cataloguers deal with electronic resources?
- Do your Metadata Librarians / Cataloguers deal with discovery service management?
- Are your Metadata / Cataloguing staff responsible for any other areas (eg involvement with reading lists)?
Thank you in advance to anyone willing to reply. I can share a summary with the list if that would be of interest.
Hannah
