Cataloguing for anagency

摘要

My first job after library school was as a trainee Cataloguer in the bibliographicdepartment of a library supplier. Once trained, I had to catalogue new books to avery tight schedule, using the standards of the time which were AACR2, UKMARC,Dewey edition 20 and LSCH. My next job was Operations Manager of the newlyestablished business Bibliographic Data Services Limited (BDS). I was still acataloguer, but now I also had to make sure the team met the deadlines, andorganise the workflow.
