With a rout of a vote tally of 148-65, I’m proud to declare a clear winner to the 1st (and possibly last) MARC Madness Tournament of Library Terminology. And now, without further ado, our champion is metadata.
The final bracket:
Congratulations, metadata. You are the ultimate library term!
I’d like to thank everyone who voted, tweeted the contest, endured my multiple social media sharing, and otherwise contributed. A thank you to the Library Society of the World for the catalyst to get this together and doing it. It’s been a long haul and I hope people had fun.
I think the right ending is the 1985 Live Aid version of Queen’s We Are The Champions. Thanks again and maybe do this again next year.
It’s the one for which I voted!
Since I’m not a librarian, I can only say: I never metadata I didn’t like.
This was fun!
Another victory for the Buzzword Division!
