Hello,

My name is Haiyun Cao, the Metadata, Discovery & Access Librarian at York University Libraries in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My colleague, Marcia Salmon and I would like to conduct a survey for our research project: Changing nature of cataloguing librarian roles in academic libraries.

The shifting research and scholarly landscape, the transformation in higher education, and advances in technology have been reshaping the profession of cataloguing librarianship in academic settings. There has been a trend in the cataloguing community that cataloguers are transforming their roles from traditional cataloguing into metadata services. Both Marcia and I have been experiencing the transition, therefore, we would like to conduct a survey of cataloguing librarians working in academic libraries to explore emerging roles in metadata services.

The survey is anonymous. Your participation in the study is completely voluntary. There are 13 questions in the survey, which will take about 15 minutes. Please click on the following link to start the survey:

If you have questions about the research in general or about your role in the study, please feel free to contact me by e-mail (hcao at yorku.ca<mailto:hcao at yorku.ca>).

Thank you and stay safe.
