Last was spent researching OPAC options instead of working on SH, unfortunately. And although it was educational—exploring Evergreen and the impressive Scriblio—ultimately it breaks down like this: The members of the Library Committee change yearly, and they may not include anyone who is familiar with information technology. The best way to maintain online access to the catalog will be to use the ILS’s OPAC—Surpass Safari. We’ve requested a 60 day free trial, but I’m pretty sure we’ll go with them permanently.
This week I had to use OCLC Connexion to add some older books on Quaker history. I can already see how working at the university library is helping my cataloging! I also worked on my SH for these books, including my new favorite form subdivision, Pictorial works.
