Betsy Simpson sent out an announcement about the procedures for electronic bookplating of items. There has been a macro created to make these bookplates easily, which although it seems daunting at first, I quickly realized how much time and effort it saves. The macro can be accessed from the F10 suite of macros [...]
I would like to thank everyone who came to the Holdings refresher class/workshop/seminar … whatever! I enjoyed meeting several folks who I did not know as well as seeing familiar faces.
Now, I need to retract one thing I said in the first class, and add some information I learned after the second one.
First of [...]
Last week I announced when the holdings classes were going to be held. I am happy to announce this week that the handouts are ready (this makes me happier than it should) and mostly ready to view. They are:

OK … I have the perfect subject heading, so now I need a call number. Sometimes there is a “suggested” call number area, but we all know trusting that is risky at best. So, where do you go next? I would love to see what other people suggest. I like to [...]
If you have never heard of these acronyms, they may sound like scary monsters in the woods, but for those of us who contribute to these programs, they are the golden brick road for cataloging. I used to dread monographs in series, until I learned how to read their authority records, and use cut [...]
