Unlocking Metadata for Streaming Audio Resources
Cataloging streaming audio resources ensures streaming audio content is accessible and discoverable. However, many records do not adhere to standardized file formats. These errors cause increased workload and lost work hours. Enhancement of streaming audio metadata can be addressed in multiple ways: facilitating metadata conversations with content providers, original cataloging of streaming audio resources, and creating recommended best practices. This project focuses primarily on creating best practices and demonstrating those practices in original cataloging records. Through establishing best practices for creating streaming audio metadata, this project takes an important first step toward improving accessibility and discoverability of streaming audio resources.
