=====Direct-to-shelf=====

To decelerate the growth of the backlog and to focus Description Division staff’s efforts on higher priority work, some categories of analogue publications will be sent directly to storage by Acquisitions Division. Factors considered when making this determination include the expected amount of Canadian content, the metadata requirements for identification and access, and how easily items belonging to the category can be identified.

=====Metadata ingest=====

=====Metadata ingest=====

Digital publications acquired through the Digital Assets Management System (DAMS) will have publisher-supplied metadata attached to them. These metadata elements are then manipulated and validated according to procedures before being loaded into WorldCat. These metadata are deemed sufficient for identification and access and therefore will not be further enhanced by Description Division staff. The ingested metadata are encoded at the abbreviated level.<br>
