Core Webinar - Best of Core Forum: What is "Cataloging"? An Analysis of Job Postings

CHICAGO—Core hosts the webinar "Best of Core Forum: What is 'Cataloging'? An Analysis of Job Postings" on April 23, 2024, at 1 p.m. CT. Like many library jobs, cataloging job titles and duties have changed significantly over time. Catalogers and leaders might notice cataloging is being rolled into other positions, being outsourced on a more regular basis, or in some cases even being eliminated. An analysis of job postings from the past shows a need for cataloging still exists at libraries. The skillsets required have become both more specialized, and also more all-encompassing, depending on each library’s needs. Both catalogers and library leaders can benefit from a summary and analysis of how this particular market is evolving.

This webinar was previously presented in-person as a session at the 2023 Core Forum. We are hosting this webinar, with the session adapted and presented live as a virtual event, to extend its reach.
