Abstract. Evolving user needs and relevance require continuous change and reform. A good digital collection has mechanisms to accommodate the di®ering uses being made of the digital library system. In a metadata management context, change could mean to transform, substitute, or make the content of a metadata record di®erent from what it is or from what it would be if left alone. In light of the evolving compliance requirements, this paper analyses the three most common types of change within metadata records as well as their subcategories and discusses the possible implications of such changes within and beyond the metadata records.

LRTS 60(2) 99 This study uses a mixed methods approach to raise awareness of divergences between and among current practices and metadata standards and guidelines for electronic theses and dissertations (ETDsA s theses and dissertations have evolved in format from shelved print resources to electronic files housed in institutional repositories, recordkeeping practices have been developed to account for the description of theses' content and their administration across a lifecycle marked by institutional approval, deposit, publication, and preservation.1 These practices are based in standards and recommendations issued at institutional, regional, national, and international levels. As Pargman and Palme have argued, "What can and what cannot be expressed when it comes to electronic communication is, in the end, determined by the underlying and in many respects invisible infrastructure of standards that enables (and, at the same time, constrains and restricts) such communication." 2 This paper attempts to raise the visibility of the standards and infrastructure, philosophies and practices that enable and constrain the expression of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) as records. Development and Application of ETD Metadata StandardsThe development and application of ETD metadata standards, and the resulting quality, consistency, and interoperability of the metadata produced and exchanged, incur major implications for the discovery and long-term preservation of these unique student works. As Arms et al. asserted, "The goal of interoperability is to build coherent services for users, from components that are technically different and managed by different organizations." They noted that "This requires agreements to cooperate at three levels: technical, content Sarah Potvin (spotvin@library.tamu.edu) is a Digital Scholarship Librarian at Texas A&M University Libraries.

Assessing metadata is of paramount importance for several critical reasons. Metadata plays a pivotal role in various aspects, including data retrieval and search, data organization, interoperability, data preservation, and the overall user experience. The purpose of this scoping review is to identify the most commonly measured dimensions of metadata quality in existing studies on metadata quality assessment. The study also investigates the types of data sources and countries contributing most to the literature on metadata quality assessment and the types of documents used to communicate their findings. The methodology involves the application of PRISMA model for qualitatively evaluating 55 studies on metadata quality assessment. The co-occurrence analysis is made on the title and abstract of selected articles using VOSviewer 1.6.18 version, visualization software. The review found that completeness, accuracy, consistency, accessibility, conformance, provenance, and timeliness are commonly used dimensions in metadata quality assessment. However, there is no consensus on their exact definition and measurement, indicating a need for further investigation into less commonly assessed quality dimensions. Digital repositories and open government data are the most commonly studied data sources, with the United States being the leading contributor and journal articles being the most commonly used document type. The cluster analysis based on co-occurrence of terms in title and abstract found three research areas, “Metadata Quality Assessment,” “Metadata Quality Dimensions,” and “Metadata Quality Applications, Frameworks, and Approaches” as prominent areas of research. The originality of the study lies in its methodology that involves rigorous screening of articles on metadata quality. It is a first attempt to qualitatively synthesize literature on metadata quality. The article emphasizes the importance of metadata quality research and the need to improve the flexibility of metadata quality assessment tools to facilitate better metadata quality assurance measures.
