We are pleased to announce that we will be holding an in-person Conference, followed by the UKCoR RDA day, on 6th-8th September 2023 at IET Birmingham: Austin Court.
The main conference will take place over the first two full days, followed by a day hosting the UK Committee on RDA (UKCoR) for an exciting day covering all things Resource Description and Access (RDA).

As we Re-vitalise the Metadata & Discovery Group in 2023, we hope to Re-energise our communities of practice, Re-establish our principles, and Re-imagine the future of description/metadata.
To that end, this year’s MDG Conference aims to explore the topic of “Re-Discovery” as discovery is at the heart of the information world and the vital purpose of all metadata work.
The MDG Conference will explore all aspects of metadata and discovery from traditional cataloguing in libraries and archives, to metadata management, research data management and digital preservation in institutional repositories, digital libraries, and beyond.
We encourage submissions from library workers, information professionals, Library and Information Science students and researchers, research data and open access specialists, meta/data suppliers, and standards and system developers; anyone involved in metadata work!
