[Metadatalibrarians] Cataloging and Metadata Practices Survey

[Zoe Waldron]

Dear Catalogers and Metadata Specialists,

On behalf of the Data Standards and VRA Core Oversight Committees of the
Visual Resources Association, we invite you to participate in a
comprehensive Cataloging and Metadata Practices survey available at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VHGVZTX
Ideal survey respondents are those whose work includes cataloging and
metadata activities.

The survey explores the scope of cataloging and metadata practices of
visual resources professionals. Beyond informing our broad community about
current prevalent practices, the survey results will help guide the VRA in
supporting both current needs and future developments via educational
outreach and practical tools for catalogers and metadata specialists.
Additionally, there are a few questions about use of, and satisfaction
with, the VRA Core 4.0 data standard. We would like to gather responses
even if you are not a current user of VRA Core.

The survey consists of 29 questions and should not take more than 20
minutes to complete. You can stop and re-start the survey at any point. The
survey will be open for seven weeks, until April 7, 2017. We will analyze
the survey data and share the results with you this spring.

We would very much like to learn about your work and look forward to your
input.

Sincerely yours,
Zoe Waldron
