SupplementalCataloging MetadataSchool districts use a variety of cataloging software systems. Because Library Aide Basics (LAB) is intend- ed to be a generalized training, this supplemental will explain what cataloging metadata can include. Likely your metadata will be formatted differently depending on the type of software you use at your school, but this supplemental should be detailed enough that you can begin to understand the basics of cataloging. Your dis- The more data you enter about library materials the more useful your catalog will be to library patrons and administrators, but don™t be overwhelmed by this sup- plemental! LAB is intentionally providing you with more information than you need to know in the hopes that if your district wants you to know the basics of cataloging metadata you have a good place to start. Five examples of what metadata looks like are given in this document. The information provided in this supplemental has been provided by the Library of Congress and re- worked by the Library Aide Basics team.

Module 6 Lesson 1 / page 2Basic Tags tags. Much like the Dewey Decimal System, these tags are divided into subject meanings by hundreds, tens, and sometimes ones. The combination of hundreds, tens, and ones codes for which kind of metadata should go in each section. The tables included on terms in rose and bold can be found at the end of this document.

RDA format. The others follow the older MARC format known as AACR2. RDA, or Resource Description and Access, was created in 2010 to replace the old method of cataloging. Despite support from the Library of Congress and orga- nizations like the American Library Association, implementation of the new cataloging method has been very slow. RDA and AACR2 are very similar and have the same sort of cataloging skeleton. However, RDA has changed some of the ways the tags on that shared skeleton are labeled, updated the cataloging system to better integrate new technologies, and added more detail to some entries.
