Cataloging

Had my first cataloging class tonight (online) and was pleasantly surprised to see I knew quite a few of the folks from other classes. Plus, one of the students turns out to be Amherst '99 and remembered me from my work with the Women's Center there. [actually its still going on in the background right now, but wrapping up]

Now I need to get my copy of "The Code" -- the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (which Amazon promises should be along shortly) and get to work on my MARC records! Eek.

Amytha and I spent the afternoon getting the last articles we need for our Collection Development Class (minus two volumes that were missing that we're hoping Ellen might have found) so I'd better get going on that work too!

Its definitely going to be a busy semester!

So...you spent the afternoon developing your collection of stuff for the Collection Development class? Excellent.

(I'm really only funny to myself. As you were. *g*)

Oh man, oh man did I dislike cataloging class. Not that it's hard - it just is not my bag. Good luck with The Code.
