Identify dependencies and limitations inherent in working with other functional areas at Columbia and Cornell, both within and beyond technical services
Non-MARC metadata projects at both 2CUL institutions have significant dependencies outside of their respective technical services departments, which closely align with the functional reporting structures described above. Limitations often entail technical support and development, including programming (both institutions) and desktop administrative rights (Columbia).

Compile an inventory of all non-MARC metadata policies, practices and workflows at both institutions
Columbia has significantly more documentation of non-MARC policies, practices and workflows than does Cornell. At Columbia, metadata documentation is aggregated in various wikis; documentation include data dictionaries, mapping tables, OMEKA documentation, MODS documentation, etc. At Cornell, documentation focuses on VRA Core cataloging and Research Data and Management Service Group projects; most other projects have established workflows and practices but lack formalized documentation.unmigrated-wiki-markup

Establish baseline productivity numbers for activities and projects at each institution to allow for future assessment of potential changes and development associated with 2CUL TSI.
At both 2CUL institutions, the tasks of the Metadata Librarians / Coordinator is difficult to quantify; thus, metrics have not been uniformly captured. This derives from the project-based tasks that dominate non-MARC metadata. The consultative and advisory nature of the Metadata Librarians / Coordinator further limits the statistics that can be uniformly generated. Non-MARC metadata creation is more easily quantifiable and has been captured for OMEKA, Center for Digital Research and Scholarship repository metadata and Libraries Digital Program Division digital projects (Columbia) as well as VRA Core cataloging (Cornell). At Cornell, most digital project metadata is captured outside of technical services with Metadata Librarians performing quality control; statistics are not collected on these projects.
