During this free virtual event, a panel of cataloging community members and OCLC staff will provide updates on current topics of interest, including recent and upcoming initiatives to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in library metadata; advancing cataloging workflows; and enhancing WorldCat metadata quality. 

As we’ve done in the past, we’ll start with a DEI panel, then move into presentations on cataloging services and metadata quality topics. Q&A will be part of each segment. Can’t attend live? Register now to get the full recording after the event.
