    Abstract
    This study assesses the current state of responsibilities and skill sets required of cataloging professionals. It identifies emerging roles and competencies focusing on the digital environment and relates these to the established knowledge of traditional cataloging standards and practices. We conducted a content analysis of 349 job descriptions advertised in AutoCAT in 2005-2006. Multivariate techniques of cluster and multidimensional-scaling analyses were applied to the data. Analysis of job titles, required and preferred qualifications/skills, and responsibilities lends perspective to the roles that cataloging professionals play in the digital environment. Technological advances increasingly demand knowledge and skills related to electronic resource management, metadata creation, and computer and Web applications. Emerging knowledge and skill sets are increasingly being integrated into the core technical aspects of cataloging such as bibliographic and authority control and integrated library-system management. Management of cataloging functions is also in high demand. The results of the study provide insight on current and future curriculum design of library and information-science programs.

    Abstract
    This study examines the use of the Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) within three digital collections. It identifies the MODS metadata elements that evidence the most frequently occurring inconsistent and inaccurate application. For this, a total of sixty metadata records (twenty from each collection) were collected. The surveyed collections cover a wide range of material from digitized sound recordings and monographs, pre-1800 imprints to born-digital web resources. As a means of comparison in evaluating the quality of the metadata, local guidelines for the MODS metadata application are also consulted in order to determine the usage of MODS metadata elements in local collections against the guidelines. Analysis of the surveyed data drawn from the three collections shows that the five most frequently used elements (titleInfo, originInfo, recordInfo, physicalDescription and subject) appeared in 86 percent of the records. The total number of MODS elements represented in each collection ranged from twelve to fifteen (out of 20 MODS top-elements). Results of this study indicate that the MODS metadata scheme is suitable for describing a wide range of materials and resource types. The results also indicate that easily accessible local guidelines for metadata creation contribute significantly to the consistent and accurate application of the MODS metadata scheme.
