English abstract

The paper enlightens the professional environment about metadata application in hybrid libraries from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. It examines the main problems related to the “hybrid” nature of libraries and the concepts “hybrid library” and “digital library” are discussed through an extensive literature review. The review covers the evolution of the different standards and schemes of metadata practice in libraries, it focuses on the metadata practices in a real-world scenario, and discusses metadata implications for the libraries that launched initiatives for digitization. A final review of some relevant practical cases leads to the conclusions.
