Abstract
Description
This is a presentation given at the Library and Information Studies Students' Association's Forum for Information Professionals on February 5, 2010 about a study that investigated whether audio material in online digital collections might have specialized descriptive metadata requirements, and, if so, what they might be. To answer these questions, an overview of current practice was undertaken. Eighteen audio-oriented online collections were identified and sample records from each were examined to discover the character of the metadata elements used in each collection. The results were interpreted both in the context of individual collections and on an aggregate level. The findings provide a new perspective on the interdisciplinary nature of online audio-oriented collections and their metadata requirements. A report of the study is also available.
