Olivia Marie A. Madison is recognized for her decisive leadership in the development and management of cataloging
throughout a long and distinguished career. She has served as chair of the Committee on Cataloging: Description
and Access (CC:DA), where she played a key role in the ongoing development of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules.
As a long-standing member of IFLA's Standing Committee of the Section on Cataloguing, Olivia served two two-year
terms as chair of the Study Group on Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records. The work of this group has been broadly influential in shaping the development of several international cataloging codes including
Resource Description and Access (RDA). More recently, she served as co-chair of the Library of Congress's Working
Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control. The conclusions of this diversely constituted group are likely
to have widespread effects on the future of cataloging at the Library of Congress, nationally and internationally.
