TY - JOUR T1 - My Fair Metadata: Cataloging Legal Deposit Ebooks at the National Library of France JF - Cataloguing & Classification Quaterly Y1 - 2016 A1 - Mathilde Koskas A1 - Sophie Derrot KW - books KW - catalogers KW - cataloging KW - electronic books KW - experimental AB -
French law on digital legal deposit covers websites and online content as well as ebooks. It imposes no obligation to produce a bibliography, indexing being sufficient. But despite their innovative characteristics, ebooks are still books, and their metadata is closer to that of printed materials than to the web indexing. To set up an ebook deposit workflow, the BnF benefits from its experience with digital documents and its tradition of legal deposit. This is to present the questions that it faces when dealing with the cataloging of ebooks and the management of their metadata, and the solutions that are emerging.
