Love this, from the very first issue of Judaica Librarianship - cataloging in Hebrew characters using an Apple II at HUC (1983): https://ajlpublishing.org/index.php/jl/article/view/737/653

Anyone have a favorite for an app and/or website for #cataloging a #music (specifically #vinyl, LPs) #collection?
Prefer something that's household friendly (multiple people can both see and input). We were considering a simple Google Sheet but I think something purpose-made would be better.
iOS if app, please.

For those with #cataloging experience, when/why would #MARC records have more than one legitimate OCLC number? #AskACataloger #AskALibrarian

For library and metadata folks who might be interested: There are a bunch of articles available in the journal "Cataloging & Classification Quarterly" on faceted vocabularies in discovery systems at https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wccq20/0/0 as part of a themed issue. Some of them are paywalled, but at least one of them, Kelley McGrath's "Musings on Faceted Search, Metadata, and Library Discovery Interfaces" is open access at https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01639374.2023.2222120 #cataloging #metadata #discovery #libraries

Fascinating. @jlbellwriter on the cataloging errors and the famous Pennsylvania Gazette image "Join or Die." In which RI is decisively expunged. π€ #Libraries #Cataloging #VastEarlyAmerica #History #Histodons https://boston1775.blogspot.com/2023/05/reporting-from-rennsylvania.html

I love talking to our cataloger when I have problem books.
Cataloger makes frustrated noise.
Me: Did [the call number classification] get weirder?
Cataloger: No, it got stupider...We'll put them in [general classification] and let god sort 'em out.

Generally happy with a two-monitor setup at my main desk, but then I volunteered to consolidate multiple spreadsheets into one document and I am now contempating how I could scrounge up an additional monitor or four. #cataloging
Gratitude to the LC cataloger who proposed changing the current LCSH heading "Curtiss CW-20 (Transport plane)" to "C-46 (Transport plane)". Nearly ever bib record using the existing heading is about the military plane (the C-46) NOT the civilian prototype (the CW-20) on which the C-46 was based. Feels like a win for us warbird nerds :) As always, you can find Tentative LCSH list here and submit your comments : https://classweb.org/tentative-subjects/ #cataloging
