About
The CUL Metadata Working Group is an open forum for all staff to discuss and collaborate on metadata issues facing the library. The CUL Metadata Working Group Charge is:
- To exchange information about metadata and its application to all library functions; this exchange will include information about uses of metadata in CUL as well as information about broader metadata developments nationally and internationally.

- To make recommendations on policy decisions relating to metadata that need to be made by CUL.
