With the increasing involvement of libraries in digitization projects and the growing number of institutional repositories, it is anticipated that metadata will play an even bigger role in the retrieval and dissemination of resources in the near future. Empirical findings, however, reveal various kinds of errors in metadata records that affect their utility. Researchers acknowledge these problems and theorize that the lack of adequate guidelines and inadequate metadata creator training could be possible sources of errors in the records; so far no attempt was made to investigate these claims. |
