http://bloggingcataloguing.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 9 July 2013. Across the sectors and through the decades. I qualified as a librarian in the early 1980s and during the course of my career I have been fortunate enough to work in public libraries, industrial libraries and academic libraries, gaining different experience in each sector and being able to bring ideas with me from one sector to another. Most remembered book: the westerns of J T Edson! Most remembered book: In and out of the box (a biography of Robert Dougall). I was quite glad when t...

Blogging cataloguing!: February 2014
http://bloggingcataloguing.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 February 2014. Getting used to a new catalogue interface. If you’ve been used to using the same catalogue interface for the last 10 years, the idea of learning the vagaries of searching a new catalogue interface could be quite daunting. Did they find searching easy? Did they wonder about their unexpected results? Were they frustrated by anything? Did they like the new interface? Did they think our users would find it easy to use? A stand up and talk lecture? Hmmm And then it came to me!

Friday, 9 November 2012. From Discoverablity to READ-ability. Enhancing records to aid discoverability. In my last blog post I was concerned with how users could discover the wealth of information that is contained in the huge variety of resources we have in our library, and suggested that the catalogue - be that the library catalogue, the institutional repository, or the archive catalogue – could be the perfect discoverability tool! I will explain more about the. Ability Initiative in a future post, as.

Blogging cataloguing!: Opening the office doors
http://bloggingcataloguing.blogspot.com/2013/04/opening-office-doors.html
Tuesday, 9 April 2013. Opening the office doors. Just before Easter the Bibliographic Services Team opened its office doors and invited staff from other parts of the library to come and see what actually goes on in the team: A little bit of demystifying can work wonders for cross-library working relationships! Previous open days have usually been based around the route of the book (from order to shelf), or journals work, so this latest venture was a bit of a departure for us. Here’s the blurb:.

Thursday, 17 January 2013. What's in store for 2013? Over the last couple of months I’ve written about half a dozen blogs – in my head, that is! Interesting topics keep whizzing into my head, but before I’ve had time to commit them to a blog, something else has whizzed in to replace it! Oh for more hours in a day, more days in a week, more weeks in a month etc! 2013 is already proving to be a year of change, a year of development and a year of trying to keep up!
