They had planned to take the summer off, but will need to convene to hear recommendations from the Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council. The Council held a meeting on July 21st and discussed some additional expenditures of LSTA funds to exhaust a surplus caused by lower costs for the statewide database license, and a shift in funding for Library Development Services staff. Last year the State Library successfully negotiated a reduced cost for general reference databases from Gale. In addition the Legislature shifted funding for 2.5 Library Development staff positions from Federal funds to General funds in response to a threatened cut-off of LSTA funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. That has resulted in surplus LSTA funds that need to be spent by September 30th of this year or returned to IMLS. The LSTA Advisory Council is recommending to the Board that the surplus be used to provide additional funding to the Oregon Digital Newspaper Project at the University of Oregon, to purchase e-books and audiobooks for the Library2Go project of the Oregon Digital Library Consortium, and to purchase e-books for the Oregon School Library Information System. The Board will meet from 4 to 5 p.m. on August 6th. Anyone wishing to attend the meeting may come to Room 202 at the State Library where a speakerphone will be provided. The next regular meeting of the State Library Board will be on October 15th at the State Library in Salem. State Library News PARTICIPATE IN WEBINAR ABOUT OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS DATABASE By now you know that the popular database, Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center (OVRC), was recently added to our statewide contract with Gale. Hopefully you already have links to it on your website. We postponed training because the interface used for OVRC and other Resource Center products like Student Resource Center Gold will be updated in early August. Interested in learning how to use this database and its new interface? Join us for a free, 1-hour webinar hosted by a Gale trainer on any of these dates: August 24th (8:30 am or 3:30 pm), August 26th (12:30 pm or 3:30 pm), October 12th (12:30 pm or 3:30 pm), and October 13th (8:30 am or 3:30 pm). No registration is required, and a PDF with information about how to access the webinars is available on OSL's Statewide Database Licensing Program page and on both Gale support sites for Oregon libraries - academic or public & tribal. For a foretaste of the new interface, visit Gale's preview page. Questions? Contact Ann Reed or Jennifer Maurer in Library Development. OREGON INDEX BIOGRAPHY CARD SCANNING REACHES 50% MARK Work on the digitization of the bibliography card index at the State Library reached a landmark in July, with over half of the cards scanned. As part of the agreement with Ancestry.com, the card index is the top priority and is moving along even faster than expected. Ancestry contractor and Library volunteer Janine Hunter has scanned over 95 drawers for over 114,000 cards. The State Library will receive indexed copies of the digital images for online use by State Library patrons. Additional materials may be scanned from high-use historical portions of the Oregon documents collection and as part of the Library's partnership with the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society. COMMUNITY-WIDE READS PROGRAMS AND TBABS Now that the 2010 Community-wide READS events are distant memories, it's probably time to start planning for 2011. Talking Book and Braille Services wants to be sure that you are aware of exactly how we can help you serve all of the patrons in your service area with books for your programs. When it comes time to plan your Community-wide READS program, please contact us at Talking Books. We will do our best to make sure that we have your selected title on hand. Then, we will send letters to all of our patrons in your community, notifying them of your program and directing them to your library's website and contact information. We will then compile a list of those who want to participate and we will make sure that each one of them has a copy of your chosen book in time for the event. In order to do this, we must have your help. Please contact Elke Bruton at 503-378-5455 as soon as you've chosen a title for your READS program. Sometimes books are not yet published in our talking book format, but we can expedite their arrival if we have good reasons and enough notice. 2010 READY TO READ GRANT APPLICATIONS DUE AUGUST 31 Ready to Read Grant application packets were mailed to public library directors and children's librarians at the end of June. The application is also available on the State Library website to download, complete, and mail. Applications must be postmarked August 31, 2010 to qualify for the grant. For more information contact Katie Anderson (503)378-2528). In May of this year, Governor Kulongoski ordered agencies to plan for across the board cuts of their General Fund budgets. On June 11th the State Library Board approved our plan which includes reductions to the Ready to Read Grant Program of 15% from the amount granted to qualifying public libraries in the first year of the 2009-11 biennium. Because smaller libraries are guaranteed a $1,000 minimum grant, most larger libraries will see a 17% reduction in 2010-2011 under this plan. The overall grant budget is $611,352, a reduction from 94? per child to 79? per child. 2010 PUBLIC LIBRARY STATISTICS COLLECTION NOW OPEN The 2010 Public Library Statistical Report is now open at collect.btol.com. Please be sure to update your links to http://bibliostat.btol.com as you will be locked out of the survey otherwise. Please call or email Ann for help early and often at 503-378-5027, or check out the FAQ. Other Library News HOOD RIVER COUNTY LIBRARY WILL TRY AGAIN TO PASS DISTRICT On July 13th the Board of Commissioners of Hood River County voted to place a new special library district measure on the November 9th ballot. In May 54% of voters in the County defeated a measure to create a special library district with a permanent tax rate of 70 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. As a result, the library in Hood River and the two branches in Cascade Locks and Parkdale closed at the end of June. The permanent rate proposed for the November measure will be determined over the next few weeks when the Commissioners hold hearings on the measure. It is likely to be less than the rate requested in May. The Hood River County Library, so far, has been the only public library to close entirely during the Great Recession in Oregon. Several libraries have had to reduce their operating hours, including the libraries in Corvallis, West Salem, and Newberg. OREGON PUBLIC LIBRARIES STILL #2 IN CIRCULATION IN THE US The Institute of Museum and Library Services has published the latest compilation of public library statistics for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The report for 2008 shows that Oregon public libraries have maintained their second place ranking for per capita circulation. As has been true for many years, Ohio public libraries check out the most library materials per capita. For 2008 they widened their lead over Oregon with 16.71 circulations per capita versus Oregon's 15.43. Oregon is well ahead of 3rd place Indiana (13.72) and 4th place Utah (12.97). Oregon also continued to rank 2nd in interlibrary loans borrowed per 1,000 population (984). Wisconsin is first in this category with an amazing 1,400 interlibrary loans per 1,000. Ohio dominates in most categories because they have the best public library funding of any other state. In 2008 Ohio libraries spent $62.77 per capita on average. Oregon ranked 12th in this category with expenditures of $46.56 per capita. Oregon's worst showing is in reference transactions per capita (33rd), state funding support (42nd) and Internet computers per 5,000 population (40th). Oregon might move up in the latter category because of the impact of the latest funding for computers from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. That funding support was just beginning in 2008. OREGON LIBRARIANS PARTICIPATE IN LIBRARY ADVOCACY DAY On June 29th the American Library Association sponsored the first ever Library Advocacy Day rally on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. Nearly 2,000 librarians and library supporters wearing red "Vote for Libraries" t-shirts and holding signs rallied for better library funding, support for school libraries, and open access to government-funded research. Oregon was well-represented by about twenty librarians and supporters, including ALA President-Elect Molly Raphael, Oregon Library Association President-Elect Rob Everett and Oregon Association of School Libraries President Ruth Murray. Before and after the morning rally, State Librarian Jim Scheppke and Oregon Association of School Libraries Past-President Carol Dinges led a delegation of school, public, and academic librarians to visit all seven offices of Oregon's Representatives and Senators. The librarians met with Senator Jeff Merkley, Congressman Kurt Schrader, Congressman Earl Blumenauer and with key aides in the other offices. They reinforced the messages of Library Advocacy Day to increase funding for LSTA, include school libraries in the reauthorization of ESEA, and provide open access to all Federal government funded research, including Congressional Research Services reports. CLACKAMAS LIBRARIES WILL BENEFIT FROM FEDERAL BROADBAND GRANT On July 2nd Governor Kulongoski announced that Oregon had been awarded $16 million in federal broadband technology grants. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration awarded the grants through the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program. The largest grant of $7.8 million will go to Clackamas County to build a fiber optic network in the eastern part of the county. The Library Information Network of Clackamas County provided a letter of support for the grant and libraries are among the 32 community institutions that will potentially benefit from improved broadband connections. The grant will also improve service to 250,000 residents and 3,500 businesses. IMLS TO CREATE PUBLIC ACCESS COMPUTING STANDARDS The National Broadband Plan released in March 2010 presented a vision of pervasive and affordable broadband that will provide every American an equal opportunity to engage in the educational, economic, and social life of the nation. Recommendation 9.3 of the Plan instructs the Institute of Museum and Library Services to "develop guidelines for public access technology based on populations served and organization size. These guidelines would help libraries and community-based organizations assess their needs for public access workstations, portable devices, and bandwidth." In response, IMLS has issued a Request for Proposals to develop a framework of the principles, elements, or characteristics of organizations and communities that foster digital inclusion. This framework is the first step in the development of final guidelines that will be used as the basis for benchmarks, evaluation tools, or performance measures. The ultimate purpose of this work is to provide policy makers and community leaders with the tools they need to build the capacity of public libraries and community-based organizations to meet the public's information needs. P.S. (From the State Librarian) The Great Recession has caused devastation to a lot libraries nationwide. Library Journal is working with others to create a website to map the closures and cutbacks. If you look at the map you'll see that Oregon has been less affected than some other states. Much of that is owing to the creation of our library taxing district laws in the early 1980's and the establishment, since then, of 24 library taxing districts that provide permanent, dedicated funding to 55 libraries, about 40% of all the public libraries in Oregon. As far as library closures go, we have had one, the Hood River County Library in Hood River along with its two branches in Cascade Locks and Parkdale. The defeat of a library district measure in May and the closure of the three libraries at the end of June is seen as a tragedy and an embarrassment to many in the community there. Thankfully the county commissioners have decided to try again for a district in November, this time with a somewhat lower tax rate. If you are one of those "glass half full" people, like I try to be, you might reflect on the fact that though three Hood River County libraries were closed this year, three brand new public libraries opened, in Multnomah County and Beaverton. The new Murray Scholls Branch of the Beaverton City Library is that library's first branch. It opened on June 25th. And the new Troutdale Branch of the Multnomah County Library opened on July 12th. In March, Multnomah County Library opened its new Kenton Branch. All three of these new libraries are bringing library service to growing communities that have, up until now, been without convenient service. I have been to the Kenton Branch and I really like what I see there. MCL is trying out a lot of new ideas. They are really pushing self-service with ample RFID checkout stations and only one small desk that sends a message to patrons that library staff is there to help, but not to "serve." Instead staff is encouraged to roam around and assist library users proactively at the point of need. There is a wonderful "Lucky Day" collection with stacks of popular fiction and non-fiction that aren't used to fill reserves. The collection rewards people who come to the library to browse (a behavior we may need to encourage again). There is a program space that doubles as a reading room when there are no programs going on. There are laptop computers to use when the desktop computers are all taken. I love the fact that the Kenton Branch is located in an converted storefront on an old "main street" block that is being revitalized. There's no parking lot. There's street parking. The location is very walkable and bikable from the surrounding neighborhood, and it's just a block from a light rail stop. In its modest way the Kenton Branch is a public library of the future: compact, self-service, friendly, flexible, accessible. Go see it, and see what I mean. And be sure to take the Yellow Line. - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Library Development: 503-378-2525, MaryKay Dahlgreen, Mary Mayberry, Darci Hanning, Ann Reed, Jennifer Maurer, Katie Anderson.

While the ALA supports the FCC?s efforts to streamline the application process, we believe changes should be postponed until after the commission issues its order setting new rules for the E-rate program to allow applicants time to become adequately trained with the revised process. Additionally, the ALA?s comments point out that these forms are due for their regular review by the FCC as required by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) every three years. We suggest that rather than change the forms now because of the OMB rule, the FCC should implement a comprehensive overhaul based on the decisions they will soon make regarding which E-rate reforms they adopt. These decisions will be informed by public comments on the E-rate Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). ALA filed comments on July 9 and reply comments on July 26. The ALA?s latest comments outline several specific recommendations should the FCC decide to go ahead with form changes before the order is issued.

The Complete Library Trustee Handbook. New York: Neal-Schuman, 2010. ISBN 978-1555706876 021.82 Reed This volume for new and experienced library trustees is divided into seven chapters and covers such topics as fund-raising, advocacy, and fiduciary responsibility; the role of the trustee; planning; policies; key issues; and effective practices. This text offers clear, reasoned explanations; sample forms; questions to guide the discussions; and resources for further study. The appendixes include essential documents, such as the Library Bill of Rights and ALA's resolution on the reauthorization of the Patriot Act. The authors (the executive director and the marketing specialist for the Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations) bring considerable experience in public libraries and writing. The handbook is practical, covers board responsibilities, and helps public libraries with different types of governance. A useful tool for both trustees and library staff.

ART MUSEUM LIBRARIES SYMPOSIUM Join us September 23 & 24! Libraries, archives and museums all face similar challenges. Libraries and archives affiliated with art museums have a second layer of concerns: how best to relate to their parent institution. Peabody Essex Museum's (PEM's) Phillips Library will host a symposium to explore the issues associated with this very question. Among the presenters are leaders from top institutions, including PEM, Harvard Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Morgan Library and Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Minnesota Historical Society, the National Gallery of Art, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution. Full scholarships and generous discounts are available for staff in museums with budgets under $5 million, for junior staff in museums with budgets over $5 million and for pre-professional graduate students. Staff in museums holding art works from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation are eligible for full scholarships plus expenses. The scholarships and discounts are available to qualifying candidates on a first come, first serve basis. The Phillips Library is one of New England's most important and historic research libraries. It is a major resource for residents and scholars with interests in genealogy, maritime history and New England history, or documents relating to the museum's vast and diverse collection. The library also holds the nation's largest collection of ship logs and journals as well as original court documents from the 1692 Salem witchcraft trials.

This vote is a huge win for the education community as well as school librarians who are in school districts that could not afford to keep them employed for the 2010-11 school year. As is usually case in Washington, ?politics? came in to play, and in order to get the needed votes, leadership had to include ?off-sets? into the bill. ?Off-sets? are funds that are rescinded from other sources in the federal budget to pay for another program or one-time spending appropriation. Unfortunately, the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) was one of the programs that received cuts. It took a $302 million rescission from the money that was appropriated in last year?s stimulus bill. BTOP is a package of stimulus programs administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce that will soon grant a second round of funding for broadband projects, including some for public computing centers (PCCs) that includes libraries. It is unclear how these cuts may affect any of the library-related proposals under consideration. The House of Representatives still needs to approve the changes the Senate made to this supplemental package. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to call the House members back from their August recess on Tuesday, August 10, to make a final vote on this bill before sending to the president for his approval.

Message-ID: <3916.216.110.210.59.1281140084.squirrel@mail.cclsd.org> My questions are directed to the public librarians. First, have you seen an increase in non-computer users coming in expecting the librarians to perform their Internet tasks for them? By this I mean writing and sending emails, surfing the Internet (especially shopping sites), doing the typing and filling out forms, and posting ads to Craigslist or e-Bay for them? I am referring to patrons who don't know and don't want to know how to use computers or the Internet and have no desire to learn. Second, what are your libraries' policies in regards to these requests?

Kopp Message-ID: Dear Oregon Library Community, It is with deep sadness that I share Jim Kopp passed away Thursday after a struggle with cancer. Jim served as the director of Aubrey R. Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College since 1999. Prior to that he was the director of the PORTALS library consortium and the University of Portland Library, and held additional leadership positions in academic and special libraries during his career. A graduate of the University of Oregon, Jim was a scholar in utopian and communal studies, and recently published a book on Oregon's utopian history, Eden Within Eden. He was active in the Oregon Council for the Humanities' Chautauqua program and lectured at libraries and organizations throughout the state. A mentor and friend to his staff at Watzek Library, he will be sorely missed. Our hearts go out to his wife Sue Kopp and his children, and to all of his colleagues and friends.

It's called AccessMyLibrary (AML) and can be downloaded for free from the app store on iTunes. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/accessmylibrary/id342518632?mt=8 AccessMyLibrary "uses GPS to find public libraries within a 10-mile radius of the user's location" and gives them access to the Gale databases without having to authenticate. Users can bookmark their "home" public library and access it even when more than 10 miles away from it. Currently not all public libraries are listed, but Gale will add the rest within the next few weeks. Feel free to contact Gale directly and ask for your library to be added to the AccessMyLibrary app. You will need to provide the following information about your library: name; address including city, state, and zip code; and any optional info like the phone number, website URL, and email address. Also contact Gale if your library subscribes to databases beyond those provided through the statewide contract and they do not show up in your library's AML listing. Gale.Consortium.Installs at cengage.com (Start the subject line w/ "Oregon.") 1-800-877-4253, option 4 Gale has a webpage with more information about the app and marketing materials to help libraries promote it. http://www.gale.cengage.com/apps/aml/PublicLibrary/ There is also a K-12 AML app. It requires users to enter a password one time which is then good for an entire school year. The password is the same one used to access Gale via OSLIS.

The U.S. House of Representatives today passed H.R. 1586, a $26-billion state aid package intended to prevent layoffs of educators and other state and local government workers with a vote of 247-161, sending the bill to the president for his signature. $10 billion will go specifically to education, and school librarians can benefit from this funding. ?The inclusion of school libraries in this supplemental funding bill indicates that Congress is beginning to recognize the fundamental role of school librarians and school libraries in a child?s education,? said Emily Sheketoff, director of the American Library Association (ALA) Washington Office. ?For too long, school libraries have been under-funded on both the federal and state levels, robbing countless American students of the instruction they need to obtain 21st century skills that equip them to excel in other subjects and prepare students for college and the workplace.? Sheketoff says the ALA will continue to lobby for additional support to school libraries, specifically for the inclusion of school libraries in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The package included ?off-sets? rescinding funding from other sources in the federal budget, and the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) was one program that received a cut of $302 million from the money that was appropriated in last year?s stimulus bill. BTOP is a package of stimulus programs originally funded at $4.7 billion for building out broadband infrastructure and related technologies and services, including funding for public computing centers (PCCs) in libraries. ?The funding rescinded from the BTOP program is disappointing, as recent economic events have shown how critical funding from the stimulus program has supplied many communities with more up-to-date technology,? Sheketoff said. ?We are working to ensure that Congress will continue to invest in libraries and other anchor institutions through future initiatives as our nation works toward national broadband build-out.?

We invite you to explore all of these resources and to contribute news and information from your library to the section. Use the newly relaunched wiki to add links to other online resources. For Twitter users, the hashtag #libs4jobs will pull your tweets into the Workforce Resources page. View Workforce Resources ?

There are some things that are California specific but there is lots more that is general. I don't know if libraries outside of California can attend the webinar but I did want to send you the link to the toolkit. MaryKay ________________________________ The California State Library, in partnership with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Southwest Region (NN/LM PSR), is pleased to introduce a new online resource: Finding Health and Wellness @ Your Library: A Consumer Health Toolkit for Library Staff This online Consumer Health Toolkit, with a focus on prevention and wellness, has been developed to assist public library staff in better meeting the health information needs of their communities. Based on findings from a 2007 LSTA planning grant, the Toolkit was developed over the past year with the input and guidance of an Advisory Committee consisting of public librarians, health librarians and healthcare professionals. The Toolkit's development was supported by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian. The Toolkit is now available at: http://www.library.ca.gov/lds/docs/HealthToolkit.pdf For an orientation to the Toolkit, please join us for a free introductory webinar lead by Kelli Ham from NN/LM PSR. CONSUMER HEALTH TOOLKIT WEBINAR DATE: Thursday, September 9, 2010 TIME: 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM (Pacific Time) FOR MORE INFO: http://www.infopeople.org/training/webcasts/list We hope we've created a resource that you will find easy to use and that provides ready access to quality health information resources. Because the Toolkit is a "work in progress," we plan to refine the Toolkit over time based on actual experiences from its use in the field. So we invite you to watch the webinar and then use the Toolkit over the coming months. Then in Spring 2011, we will conduct an online survey so that you can evaluate the Toolkit's effectiveness and give us your feedback. If you have questions or comments in the interim, please don't hesitate to contact me. Hope this proves to be a useful tool for you and your library.

We reveal the secrets to getting policymakers at all levels ? whether your local city councilperson, a state legislator or a member of the U.S. Congress ? to take libraries seriously. If you?re looking for more funding, a better policy environment or just a little positive attention, this is the session for you! We outline the differences between being heard and being agreed with and how you can move policymakers from one side to the other. We also look at five critical steps to capturing the attention and support of your policymakers that are effective either as a follow-up for attendees of the ALA Legislative Advocacy Day rally or as stand-alone efforts to boost awareness.

This year's lecture should appeal to public, special, and academic librarians, as Dr. David Carr, Associate Professor Emeritus from the University of North Carolina's School of Information and Library Science, presents "Think with Me: The Possibilities of Public Conversations in Cultural Institutions". His talk is abstracted below: *The formative legacy of any democratic culture or learning community is borne and embodied by its library. At its best, it is a living, constructive institution where experience and knowledge increase. The aspirations of a community -- what it wants to become and what it hopes to give to its children -- require a generative public conscience and provocative voices. More than a record of our time and place, the library is a record of us as we embrace or turn away from our challenges. We require a place that holds both pages and voices, electrons and arguments; and more: a place where thoughtful citizens will strive to become something together.* In 1999 the Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture in Library Service was established by Watzek Library director James J. Kopp to commemorate the contributions and legacies of a respected friend, colleague, and champion of service. Johannah Sherrer served as Director of the Aubrey R. Watzek Library from July 1993 to September 1998, when she passed away. This year's event will be particularly meaningful as we will also be remembering Dr. Jim Kopp, who passed away on August 5. We believe that Jim, a scholar librarian with intellectual interests including history, literature, philosophy, and the humanities, would have found this year's lecture especially interesting. Further information is available on the Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lectureweb page. If you have any questions or require additional information, please let me know. We hope you can join us at this special event. Sincerely, Elaine Gass Hirsch Library Advancement Coordinator Aubrey R.

This First Look presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2009 data collection, which included three survey components: institutional characteristics for 2009-10 - such as degrees offered, type of program, application information, and tuition and other costs; the number and type of degrees conferred from July 2008 through June 2009; and 12-month enrollment data for the 2008-09 academic year. Other findings include: * Among 4-year institutions, private for-profit institutions reported the highest average price of attendance during 2009-10 for students living on campus - about $36,700. This is higher than the average for private not-for-profit institutions, at about $34,200. Public institutions reported an average price of attendance of approximately $18,600 for in-state students living on campus and $27,700 for out-of-state students living on campus. * Between 2000-01 and 2009-10, 4-year public institutions reported a 46 percent increase in average in-state tuition and required fees and a 34 percent increase in average out-of-state tuition and required fees. Over the same 10-year period, 4-year private not-for-profit institutions reported a 31 percent increase and private for-profit institutions reported a 20 percent increase in average tuition and required fees. (All averages were adjusted for inflation). * Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment totaling 27.4 million individual students. Of these, 23.7 million were undergraduates, 3.5 million were graduate students, and 197,000 were first-professional students. * Of the 2.6 million degrees awarded by 4-year institutions, 42 percent were awarded to men and 58 percent to women. Of the almost 574,000 degrees awarded by 2-year institutions, 38 percent were awarded to men and 62 percent to women.

A Guide to Cataloging School Library Materials 2nd ed. Worthington, OH: Linworth Books, 2006 025.3 Kapla 2nd ed. A book that presents both the theory and practice of cataloging. Though many media specialists purchase their materials preprocessed, some understanding of the rules and standards of cataloging is still necessary. Throughout this book, the authors use concrete examples of items commonly found in school libraries. The first two chapters give a brief history of cataloging and an overview of copy cataloging and cataloger's tools. The next four chapters deal with intellectual access (assigning subject headings and classification codes), physical description (both theory and application), and processing. The last two chapters present aspects of automated cataloging and the migration to automated systems and the future of cataloging. This readable text can serve as a textbook for students in school-library-media programs and as a ready-reference tool for practicing media specialists.
