Yale Library Metadata

Yale Library's metadata work supports the discovery, access, and management of our collections. This Confluence space documents the standards, workflows, tools, and guiding principles that shape that work, and serves as a shared reference for all staff involved in metadata activities. To report issues, request documentation updates, or ask questions, please use our feedback form.
