1 Volunteering at Your Other Library: How to Catalog for Congregational and Organizational Libraries Janifer Meldrum

2 Librarian Volunteers Do you leave your day job at the library and go to volunteer at another library? Church, synagogue, or other congregational library Museum library Association library School or media center Community reading room Small public library We provide cataloging to all of these.

3 Paid Job vs. Volunteering Money. Small libraries often work on a miniscule budget. Scale. Solutions that work in a large library are unnecessarily complex for a small library. For example, cataloging on OCLC is rarely appropriate. Professional skills. You have to be able to do everything in a small library—even cataloging! Time. If you only volunteer a few hours, every minute has to count. Keying in a cataloging record from scratch is a waste of time.
