Warm up discussion: PCC libraries and metadata

For purposes of this discussion, "metadata" refers to cataloging codes, lists of data elements, or other schema that are used to create records or data that enhances the retrieval and interpretation of bibliographic resources in digital form.

1. Is your institution using metadata other than AACR2?
   (Yes or no)
2. If yes, what types of materials and what metadata are being used for them?
3. What kinds of staff are involved with metadata applications or creating records for digital resources? (E.g., catalogers, reference librarians, etc.)
4. Who is currently cataloging electronic integrating resources (databases, Web sites) in your library (e.g., serials catalogers, monograph catalogers, electronic resources catalogers)?
5. Now that AACR2 has been revised, when do you think we'll use AACR2 for resources such as Web sites and databases? E-journals? Other digital resources?
6. In broad terms, how can the PCC promote the cataloging of digital materials of all types? Is there a place for non-MARC/AACR2 metadata in PCC?
