Investment in metadata like #MARC is not just a value-add, but critical for e-resource discovery. I can’t share this slide enough. Thank you Emily Alinder Flynn and Erin Kilkenny for an informative presentation. #erl22

Excited to see this slide @emmavecellio & Jennifer Meekhof's presentation about how University of Michigan Library & University of Michigan Press working to establish better discovery of OA content Our #erl22 presentation also discussed the importance of *Provid[ing] feedback to publishers about records*

Excellent presentation from OhioLINK members "This Presentation Will Make You Uncomfortable: Flagging Problematic Language in Discovery Tools" "Fixing" the catalog vs. Reparative description, which takes time & discussion #erl22

Helpful hearing from Courtney Bremer of UWaterloo Library & Emilie Lavallee-Funston of CRKN RCDR (inactive as of December 2024) on their #PerpetualAccessRights work. Providing clear consortium/institution-level PA lists, good metadata, and transfer/title change updates are the best ways publishers can help. #erl22

If your library engages in this work but does nothing with feedback and discussions, it risks becoming a performative exercise. "This Presentation Will Make You Uncomfortable: Flagging Problematic Language in Discovery Tools" #metadata #bias #erl22
