It's been a while since we tweeted last; sorry about that! We have changed our name to reflect our focus: we are now the Metadata and Discovery Group in Scotland (MDGS)! We are still the same dynamic group who will be putting on lots of fab events. Watch this space!

CILIPS are running a campaign in advance of the Scottish Parliament elections in May, #LibrariesAreEssential. Follow the link to see how you can help, and why this is important. Combatting misinformation is one of the reasons we are cataloguers, right? cilips.org.uk/advocacy-campa…

The Metadata and Discovery Group (MDG) CILIP Metadata & Discovery Group (inactive) and MDGS MDGScotland invite you to join us for a world café style discussion on the future of serials metadata. The event will be held online via Zoom on the 13th October 2021. cilip.org.uk/events/EventDe…
