Original Cataloguing PEI materials – special collection No full time cataloguer Very experienced copy cataloguer Proposal to divide by liaison subjects All librarians do reference, instruction, coll dev, why not cataloguing?
23
Original Cataloguing Subject librarians to assign call number, subject headings only Special collections librarian checks over work done by copy cataloguer Use Project Management software to manage workflow of each item – Redmine open source software – Intended originally for systems office projects
24
Original Cataloguing Regulates flow of book process among staff: – Starts with Spec Coll librarian – book = “issue” – Spec Coll librarian assigns to subject librarian – Subject librarian adds info, assigns to copy-cat – Copy cat puts info into actual catalogue record – Emails notify assignees at each stage – Wiki used to provide links to useful tools
