</span><p> <i>Following the line of thinking associated with the ETL concept and
warehousing metadata in a data warehouse for a variety of uses, the
importance of SQL scripting—and its various forms—is brought to the
forefront of must-know metadata literacy concepts. The ability to
locate, manipulate, and move metadata to perform various functions is
key to both operation and analysis for most current library repository
and discovery systems. </i></p><i>
</i><p><i> For example, both the Evergreen and Koha
open source ILSs rely on PostgreSQL scripting for major functions,
including managing bibliographic and item metadata. Additionally,
knowing how to develop and execute SQL queries at various OS access
points (i.e., Linux command line, BASH script, Shell script) gives
librarians a better understanding of the questions they are trying to
answer with the data as well as a concept of where the source data is
located and how it flows. <br></i></p><p>For the whole article:</p><p>
