Bringing together leading practitioners and academic voices, this book considers library catalogue data as a vital research resource.Divided into four sections, each approaches library catalogues, collections and records from a different angle, from exploring methods for examining such data; to the politics of catalogues and library data; their interdisciplinary potential; and practical uses and applications of catalogues as data. Other topics the volume discusses include:Practical routes to preparing library catalogue data for researchersThe ethics of library metadata privacy and reuseData-driven decision makingData quality and collections biasPreserving, resurrecting and restoring dataThe uses and potential of historical library dataThe intersection of catalogue data, AI and Large Language Models (LLMs)This comprehensive book will be an essential read for practitioners in the GLAM sector, particularly those dealing with collections and catalogue data, and LIS academics and students.
