“…The American Library Association (ALA) adopted the Core Competences of Librarianship in 2009. In 2015, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services Cataloging and Metadata Management Section (ALCTS CaMMS) Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging Interest Group (CECCIG) charged a task force to create a core competencies document specifically for catalogers (Evans, 2018). ALCTS approved the Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians in 2017.…”

This research analyses cataloging librarian job advertisements in the United States academic libraries. The purpose is to find what skills and knowledge are required for cataloging positions in academic libraries. The results may help Library Information Science (LIS) educators develop new curricula and prepare students to meet the needs of prospective employers. The research will also help LIS students find jobs in the technical service area, and incumbent cataloging librarians promote their expertise.

“…Professional organizations have since taken increasing notice of the importance of linked data in the preparation of information workers. In 2017, ALCTS released their core competencies for cataloging and metadata professionals, which includes linked data as a major area of knowledge, and references linked data tools and technologies such as RDF, Turtle, and OpenRefine (Evans et al, 2018). These competencies reflect the growing importance of Semantic Web activities in information institutions, but also indicate that new and current metadata professionals without linked data skills run the risk of being left behind.…”

Studying, designing, and implementing linked data is becoming an increasingly important part of many information settings. Whether taking part in high‐profile grant funded collaborations, local exploratory projects, or adopting a “wait and see” approach, institutions such as libraries, archives, and enterprise organizations will need professionals versed in linked data technologies and practices. In recent years, many advances have been made toward the establishment of an educational foundation for information professionals in this area, through both the incorporation of linked data topics into formal course curricula as well as the establishment of community‐driven, open access learning resources online. However, questions and challenges remain. In this panel, presenters will explore the past, current, and future states of linked data education and training while addressing ongoing challenges and opportunities for preparing metadata professionals in this area.

The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) Board of Directors approved the Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians, hereafter referred to as the “Core Competencies,” in January 2017. The Core Competencies lists the skills required of professionals performing cataloging and metadata work in libraries of all types. In the six years since the document’s release, the cataloging and metadata community has adopted new cataloging standards, experimented with new tools, and engaged in conversations and reparative efforts around inclusive metadata. In this paper, we, the authors of the Core Competencies, report the results of our survey research that assessed the current use of the document within the cataloging and metadata community and solicited comments on ways in which the document might be revised. We conclude with recommendations for immediate changes to the document, and for its future use and maintenance.
