We wish these resources weren't necessary because everyone understood why #MetadataMatters and why trained professional #MetadataStaffMatter - if you would like to write or present about the #ValueofCataloguers in #UKLibraries then get in touch! We'd love to hear from you.
Absolutely loving all the resources for demonstrating the value of metadata work created by the ALA Devaluation of Cataloging Group alair.ala.org/collections/.... I can see the memes getting a lot of use in my day-to-day!
