TL;DR: This paper is based on comments by the Subject Analysis Committee Subcommittee on FAST, which reviewed a sample of 5,000 bibliographic records with both LCSH and FAST headings and provides the library community with some understanding of FAST.
Abstract: The Subject Analysis Committee Subcommittee on FAST of the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) was established in the fall of 2004 to explore issues related to the implementation of the Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST) subject heading schema. FAST is being developed at the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) and is derived from the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) with a simplified syntax. This paper is based on comments by the Subject Analysis Committee Subcommittee on FAST, which reviewed a sample of 5,000 bibliographic records with both LCSH and FAST headings. It provides the library community with some understanding of FAST, a new system of subject cataloging and metadata.

TL;DR: This illustrated book on using metadata standards and controlled vocabularies to catalog and provide end-user access to images of works of art also focuses on decisions that must be made about the arrangement of visual records, descriptive principles and methodologies, and requirements for access.
Abstract: With the proliferation of information on the World Wide Web and in other networked environments, there are many users that search for images of works of art and architecture. End-users generally try to search for images by subject, a process that often proves unsatisfactory and frustrating. Cataloging images of works of art has always been challenging, but now that end-users need only have access to the Internet, the challenge is more daunting than ever. This illustrated book on using metadata standards and controlled vocabularies to catalog and provide end-user access to images of works of art also focuses on decisions that must be made about the arrangement of visual records, descriptive principles and methodologies, and requirements for access. Introduction to Art Image Access addresses the issues that underlie the intellectual process of documenting a visual collection to make it accessible in an electronic environment. A glossary, selected bibliography, and an annotated list of tools are included.

TL;DR: The proposed program was designed to achieve the following objectives: to inform the information community of the effort to improve and enrich cataloging and metadata education, and to promote the integration of metadata topics into cataloging education.
Abstract: Bibliographic Control of Web Resources. The charge was to " prepare a model curriculum for cataloging and continuing education " which should " focus on teaching cataloging and metadata to new librarians, " " recommend specific changes and additions to existing library school curricula, " and " cover the period through 2005. " The principal investigator reviewed the literature on cataloging education, metadata education, information organization, metadata, and future of cataloging and libraries to obtain background information and identify related studies. In addition, a survey of 52 ALA-accredited programs in the United States and Canada was conducted in April and May of 2002 to obtain data on their coverage of cataloging and metadata. Several issues were taken into account in the development of this proposal. In addition to the literature on cataloging and metadata education, current coverage of cataloging and metadata in LIS programs was analyzed. Then research on the future roles of LIS graduates in information organization and the competencies needed were reviewed to provide a context for curriculum development. In addition, educators' views on cataloging and metadata education were examined because of their implications for instruction. The proposed program was designed to achieve the following objectives: • To inform the information community of our effort to improve and enrich cataloging and metadata education. • To promote the integration of metadata topics into cataloging education. • To identify levels of expertise in cataloging and metadata and competencies in leadership and management to help prepare cataloging professionals of the 21 st century. • To assist educators and anyone who cares about cataloging and metadata education to prepare for teaching in this area. • To enrich educators' knowledge of cataloging and metadata by providing opportunities for educators and practitioners to brainstorm best teaching strategies for providing the recommended levels of expertise. • To assess the effects of the proposed actions on cataloging and metadata education in three years and determine the next course of actions. In response to the state of LIS cataloging and metadata education and changes in the information environment, the proposed program includes several components to achieve the program objectives, including 1. Expertise in cataloging and metadata: Since all LIS programs have their priorities and local constraints and are likely to want to implement any changes in III their own way, instead of offering a range of courses to be taught, the proposal recommends three levels of expertise …
