The Metadata Steering Committee (MSC) has been working on ways to support more consistent and efficient reuse of metadata across UTL repositories and discovery platforms. These diagrams are designed to assist UTL staff looking to find and reuse descriptive metadata for various projects. The diagrams illustrate current and proposed locations of source records for a wide range of resources, including special collections, licensed materials, and both print and digital materials. Where there may be more than one possible location, the most likely location is listed first, and in descending order from there. Note that not all UTL digital repositories appear on the diagrams (e.g. AHPN, AILLA, LADI), because the descriptive metadata in those sites is not expected to be reused widely.
including how we define special collections, that proposed diagram meant to represent a future to work towards.
