The metadata we interact with in the ExLibris environment are increasingly harvested, manipulated and shared across ILS modules in ways that are often opaque to us. This task force aims to investigate those data flows and share what they learn with the rest of the CSU team, to enable all CSU library staff members to better utilize the information in ExLibris systems.
The group will work with other ULMS and Repository committees to investigate overlapping metadata issues. It will focus on learning how the metadata ExLibris harvests, enhances, and shares across modules can be best understood for use, and how it can be influenced by CSU users either through direct manipulation, or user-group lobbying for systems enhancements.
