Metadata Matters

View this post on Instagram

✨✨✨Huge thanks to Emma Booth for her brilliant lunchtime seminar on Metadata Matters. ✨✨✨ There’s so much Emma has learned in her cataloguing career since I took this photo a few years ago, and so many great projects she’s worked on @officialuom. I think you can see the focus and attention to detail even back then in this old photo. Heather Jardine (retired Head of Bibliographic Services at the City of London) always said cataloguing is about the attitude, and I think we saw that today – in Emma and in all the seminar participants. The passion for helping other people find things keeps our eyes on the details some others miss! Link to Emma’s Twitter in bio – she’s always happy to chat metadata and I can not recommend her highly enough as a presenter and seminar host. #inspiringcolleagues #metadatamatters #metadata #cataloguing #cataloging #cataloguer #cataloger #catalogersofinstagram #lunchtimelearning #ilovemyjob #beginningcataloguingseminars #beginningcataloguingonlineschool #beginningcataloguing

Today’s Wednesday wisdom comes from William Cubery, the American author of Fifty Years a Printer (San Francisco: Cubery, ca. 1900), but is pasted into the back of the Getty Research Institute’s copy of Thomas Lynch’s Printer’s Manual (Cincinnati: Cincinnati Type Foundry, 1864), fulltext available via the Hathi Trust Digital Library.
