“…On the other hand, at the methodological level, the standardization of archival descriptions occurred much later than in the case of libraries [4] and has been oriented more toward the context than toward the item, which makes it more complex to harmonize the descriptions of other GLAM institutions with those of archives. The basic standards for archival institutions are issued by the International Council of Archives, although local standards also exist, such as the DACS in the USA, NEDA in Spain or RAD in Canada (Llanes Padrón, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine which metadata schemas are used in the museums and university collections of the main universities in Spain and other European countries. Although libraries and archives are also university memory institutions (according to a Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums perspective), their collections are not included in this study because their metadata systems are highly standardized and their inclusion would, therefore, skew our understanding of the diverse realities that the study aims to capture. Design/methodology/approach The analysis has three components. The first is a bibliographic review based on Web of Science. The second is a direct survey of the individuals responsible for university collections to understand their internal work and documentation systems. Finally, the results obtained are complemented by an analysis of collective university heritage portals in Europe. Findings The results of this study confirmed the hypothesis that isolation and a lack of resources are still major issues in many cases. Increasing digitalization and the desire to participate in content aggregation systems are forcing change, although the responsibility for that change at universities is still vague. Originality/value Universities, particularly those with a long history, have an important heritage whose parts are often scattered or hidden. Although many contemporary academic publications have focused on the dissemination of university collections, this study focuses on the representation of information based on the conviction that good metadata are essential for dissemination.
