Models for cataloguing priorities in public libraries
Dear collective wisdom I would appreciate any models, department manuals, etc. that you can recommend on deciding cataloguing priorities in public libraries. How are you doing it at your place? I've identified some facets relating to our collection. These include: Fiction Non Fiction Format Holds present on receipt No. of copies Language Firm Order Automatic release plan Physical processing complexity Cataloguing complexity full or nearly full record at time of receipt? Weeding schedule (why spend a lot of time if the item will be weeded a year later?) Circulation statistics Received shelf-ready from vendor On locally created best seller list Periodicals Standing orders Government publications (both print and electronic) Are there are other facets that you take into consideration at your respective workplaces? Best practices? Thanks for your help. Lorna Young Manager, Bibliographic Services Oakville Public Library lyoung@...
