Abstract
The efficient management and discovery of library resources have always been of concern to catalogers and metadata librarians working in health sciences libraries, but the past several years have changed many of the systems and workflows employed to do so and created opportunities for applying existing skillsets to new challenges. This article examines how the dominance of electronic resources in the health sciences has shifted cataloging workflows and priorities. It also examines efforts currently underway to bring cataloging practices and standards into better alignment with modern web standards. Finally, it identifies new roles for metadata librarians and catalogers that have emerged in recent years in health sciences libraries that leverage existing skills and library metadata for new initiatives and collaborative opportunities that reach beyond the borders of traditional technical services activities.
