Meeting User Needs With Cataloger's Desktop, a Library of Congress Custom Search Application

摘要

As the United States' oldest federal cultural institution and the largest library in the world, the Library of Congress (LC; loc.gov) has millions of books, recordings, photographs, maps, and manuscripts in its collections. LC also provides leadership to libraries worldwide. As part of its mission to provide services to the global library community, LC information professionals developed Cataloger's Desktop ("Desktop"), a searchable cataloging, metadata, and library automation documentation system consisting of 300-plus resources (loc.gov/cds/desktop).
