520 3 |a Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians To better understand the current status of cataloging education and, hopefully, validate or debunk some of my assumptions of how cataloging education has changed over three decades, I consulted the Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians, originally approved by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) Board of Directors in 2017 and updated on December 13, 2023 by the oversight successor to the ALCTS Board of Directors, the ALA Core Metadata & Collections Leadership Team.2 The 2017 version of the Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians sets out to define "competencies in broad terms to acknowledge the wide variety of work performed by cataloging and metadata professionals in libraries of all types and sizes, regardless of developments in a particular standard or technology. First and foremost, AI has led to the mass automatic generation of cataloging records as part of content delivery for all types of materials. The Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians validates that assumption in that I could locate only the following competency statements that are even remotely related to cataloging record creation and/or maintenance: * Creates and manages machine actionable data using formatting standards, serialization standards, and structural standards * Identifies, evaluates, and assigns controlled vocabularies for appropriate uses in data element sets * Assigns and establishes unique labels for agents and entities by utilizing metadata content standards and best practices * Analyzes and classifies resources by utilizing best practices for subject, genre, and classification analysis and assignment from a metadata value standard Additionally, the bulk of the Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians document emphasizes understanding generalities of cataloging concepts and systems, but does not offer many specifics or means of both quantifying and qualifying results. According to John: I have never been a cataloger until I started using WMS [Worldshare Management Services].
