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

Anyone have a favorite for an app and/or website for a (specifically , LPs) ?

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 experience, when/why would records have more than one legitimate OCLC number?

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 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 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

Fascinating. @jlbellwriter on the cataloging errors and the famous Pennsylvania Gazette image "Join or Die." In which RI is decisively expunged. πŸ€“ boston1775.blogspot.com/2023/0

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.

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 : classweb.org/tentative-subject
