Three Catalogers Walk Into a Blog

This blog was created in response to several successful programs given at the ILA Annual Conference and Reaching Forward Conference entitled “Technical Services Tips & Tricks” by Richard Stewart, Jennifer B. Young and Joy Anhalt.

The purpose is to find resources to help catalogers with everyday and occasional cataloging challenges.

We will also be presenting our program again at the ILA Annual Conference in Peoria, IL on October 6-9, 2009.
