--- Metadata Guidelines for Procurement of Discovery Systems ISKO has set up an international working group to develop a set of metadata guidelines for procurement of library management systems (LMS). This arises from the observation that such platforms do not typically make effective use of metadata or other KOS elements to support search and discovery services. The purpose of the guidelines is to ensure that an LMS enables library users to can get maximum value from access metadata such as subject metadata, classification schemes, and controlled vocabularies. These represent considerable intellectual effort by cataloguers and indexers and but areis often overlooked during the procurement process (and sometimes in system design). The working group includes David Haynes, Claudio Gnoli, Koraljka Golub, Patrick Lambe, Athena Salaba, Ali Shiri, Aida Slavic. The working group will be reviewing existing literature and consulting stakeholder groups, including system vendors, to develop a draft set of guidelines in the coming months. An interim report will be delivered to the ISKO Annual Members' Meeting in June/July 2023 with a final set of guidelines due in 2024. If you are interested in participating in any of the consultations, as an LMS user, as an institutional user, or as a vendor, please contact the working group chair, David Haynes: d.haynes at napier dot ac dot uk
