Whether you perform original cataloging or copy cataloging, you are an integral part to the management of library resources. Cataloging is at once a community-focused task and often very independent. Let’s learn from each other.
- What are some authority resources you use most often to ensure you are following standard practices?
- How do you go about cataloging a new resource type that you are unfamiliar with?
- How have your workflows changed over the last few years?
- How was that change met and implemented?
- What new skills are you learning?
- What advantages and disadvantages have you experienced when learning news skills during and after the pandemic?
- What is an interesting or cool material that presents a cataloging challenge? How was that challenge met?
- What material would you like to learn about cataloging, given the chance?
