Episode 501: Cataloging


Welcome back to Season Five of Linking Our Libraries!

We are the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange. Our members are libraries of all sorts: public, schools, academics, special libraries, archives, and history centers. This season we are working through some skills that people in any kind of library will need to be successful in their work.

This week we are starting the season on a foundational skill for any library: cataloging. You need this to keep track of your materials, to know where they are, and to help your patrons locate just the things they need for their information searching.

This week we have a special Guest Host: Violet Fox, an editor on OCLC’s Dewey team.

Check out our full shownotes page to get all kinds of helpful information, links to resources, and info on the books we share in this episode!
