Only another known copy: Metadata, bibliographic databases and digitisation in the cataloguing of a rare print book (Veronica Pizzarotti – Metadata Assistant)

Have you ever wanted to know more about the relationship between rare books and digital cataloguing? In "Only another known copy", Veronica Pizzarotti shares her process of cataloguing a rare Jamaican publication, Silver Jubilee 1947-1972, previously only accessible at the National Library of Jamaica.

Veronica’s presentation explores how metadata creation, digitisation, and bibliographic databases like WorldCat and Manchester's LUNA platform enhance discoverability and preservation for rare items.
