Minutes of Meeting: Cataloguing Section, 16 August 2021

Abstract

Minutes of the IFLA Cataloguing Section Standing Committee Business Meeting I, held virtually via Zoom on 16 August 2021. The meeting focused on preparations for WLIC 2021, including feedback on session organization and challenges with the virtual format. The committee reviewed the 2020–2021 Action Plan, covering four focus areas: consistency of standards (including updates to ICP and MulDiCat), metadata librarian competencies, promotion and translation of cataloguing standards, and authority control and identifier management. Key discussions included the formal adoption of MulDiCat as an IFLA standard, the development of a white paper on metadata competencies, and the ongoing maintenance of Names of Persons and Anonymous Classics. Plans were made to continue discussions and finalize actions in the second business meeting.
