ALIA and ACORD invite you to join the Schools Cataloguing Community of Practice, a vendor-neutral forum for discussion and sharing on bibliographic metadata and information discoverability in school libraries.

 Free, online and respectful of all voices

Objectives:

• To identify, gather, and share effective bibliographic metadata practices in school libraries.
• To provide a point of contact for Australasian school library staff to ask questions and discuss issues of relevance to bibliographic metadata.
• To report on developments in international bibliographic metadata that could impact discoverability of resources in Australasian school libraries.

Open to anyone with an interest in bibliographic metadata for school libraries in Australasia.
