Cross-posting on behalf of the VRA Data Standards and Core Oversight Committees
------------------------------------------ Dear Catalogers and Metadata Specialists, Just a quick reminder to please take (if you would like to and have not already done so) the comprehensive survey of cataloging and metadata practices created by the Data Standards and VRA Core Oversight Committees of the Visual Resources Association. It's available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VHGVZTX . Ideal survey respondents are those whose work includes cataloging and metadata activities. Multiple staff at the same institution are welcome to participate. The response to the survey has been fantastic so far, and we are very much looking forward to your input before the survey closes on April 7. We will share preliminary results with you in the spring. The survey explores the scope of cataloging and metadata practices of visual resources professionals. Beyond informing our broad community about current prevalent practices, the survey results will help guide the VRA in supporting both current needs and future developments via educational outreach and practical tools for catalogers and metadata specialists. Additionally, there are a few questions about use of, and satisfaction with, the VRA Core 4.0 data standard. We would like to gather your responses even if you are not a current user of VRA Core. The survey consists of 29 questions and should not take more than 20 minutes to complete. Sincerely yours, Zoe Waldron on behalf of the Cataloging and Metadata Practices Survey Working Group Zoe Waldron Metadata Specialist II, Metadata Services Unit NYPL Digital New York Public Library (917) 229-9635 X39635 <(917)%20229-9635> zoewald...@nypl.org -- Heidi S.
