Deadline Extended: Metadata Futures Survey – We Still Want to Hear from You!

[Rosalyn Metz]

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you to everyone who has already responded to the Metadata Futures Survey. We’ve received valuable insights so far, and in response to continued interest, we’re extending the deadline to allow more time for participation.

If you haven’t had a chance to complete the survey, we invite you to share your experiences with metadata sharing, reuse, and governance in your institution or consortium. Your input will help inform community-developed guidelines aimed at supporting equitable, sustainable metadata practices across libraries.

We welcome responses from all staff engaged in metadata, systems, discovery, repositories, or vendor relations. Multiple participants from the same institution are encouraged to respond.

Survey Link: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3HK5ZGamUfa02Qm 

Estimated time to complete: 20 to 30 Minutes

Deadline to respond: November 7th, 2025

If you have any questions about the survey or the work of the Task Force, please reach out to the co-chairs:

• Mary Beth Weber (mbf...@libraries.rutgers.edu)

• Rosalyn Metz (rosaly...@emory.edu)

Thank you again for contributing to this important conversation about the future of metadata sharing.

Best,

Metadata Futures Task Force
