Just sharing with anyone interested in metadata/cataloging topics a couple of recordings from the recent UK Metadata & Discovery Group conference.
Big and bold : the audacity of shared metadata (Keynote presentation)
Summary: "It takes a lot of nerve to create an international norm. Our current systems and standards are showing their age, but when they were created they were ground-breaking. What can we learn from the people who constructed these standards? How can we devise our own revolutionary future?"

Metadata enriching and discovery at Solent University Library
Summary: "In today’s challenging financial environment, we at Solent are convinced that access, usage, impact and return on investment in library resources are ever more important. At Solent, 90% of the resources budget goes onto digital resources (e-books, e-journals and databases), and usage drives everything. We place particular emphasis on the function of the cataloguing and metadata part of our work. Metadata plays an important role to ensuring print and electronic resources are discoverable and usable by users as well as supporting the circulation, acquisition and interlibrary loan functions of a library."
