Partners in Metadata

In alignment with our February newsletter theme, partnerships, we explore the relationship between IFLA’s metadata Sections - Bibliography (BIB), Cataloguing (CAT),  and Subject Analysis and Access (SAA) - how these IFLA sections are related and work together, and how their work intersects with the work of IFLA’s Review Groups: Bibliographic Conceptual Models (BCM), ISBD, LIDATEC, and UNIMARC. We also highlight their individual Section projects, which contribute globally to the area of the bibliographic universe.
