#cataloging — Public Fediverse posts

A library card catalog.

These should never have been gotten rid of, IMHO.

I still believe they were helpful to educate people in discernment and critical thinking skills.

New stuff is sometimes great and useful.

Let's stop getting rid of the old stuff just because something new comes along.

Especially if something new always requires more power.

This is a ridiculously cute series of books for children. A Jack book series.

Dog Man is an incredibly popular series with our older kids. In fact, this set is number four because we keep losing so many copies.

"Catalogers stay in full control."

Until the boss says that they should[1] accept the AI suggestions.

[1] "should" in Manager Speak means "must"[2]

[2] "must" in this context includes "do not spend time double checking that the AI additions actually make sense" [3]

[3] Because the boss doesn't want to know about how bad the AI slop is as long as they're able to make the case to cut staff or reduce work hours thanks to the new shiny AI tool

I bought a CueCat from LibraryThing when they first got them. It was so useful to me when cataloging my book and graphic novels library.

Their holiday store has them on sale for $5 for the holidays.

Now you can use a mobile phone, but back then it wasn't an option.

But you get a neat little plastic cat sculpture with a USB tail and flashing red mouth with a CueCat.

Useful for Bookwyrm.

so **each** key/value-pair of #metadata can be about 64kB.

This is sufficient to hold most annotations stored as #EmbeddedMetadata currently present in most file formats.
(eg #mp3, #mp4, #iptc, #tiff, #jpg, etc)

But from then on, the file-format becomes irrelevant for this task!

Halp. I'm trying to find all instances of 710 [field content here] and delete said 710. It was REALLY EASY in Sierra. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it in Alma. Do I really have to write a normalization rule for this? I have no idea how to do that. #metadata #cataloging #alma

Classification as Colonization: Hidden Politics of #Library #Catalogs Mike Olson discusses why, how library catalogs have always been battlegrounds where content is not merely described but debated.Trump’s 1/20/25 EO directing renaming of longstanding geo designations “Mount Denali” & “Gulf of Mexico” to politically loaded “Mount McKinley” & “Gulf of America” reveal the naked truth of what #cataloging has always been: a battlefield where meaning is contested and conquered https://www.llrx.com/2025/04/classification-as-colonization-the-hidden-politics-of-library-catalogs/

Hello everyone. I'm cross-posting this from my other accounts. I was recently laid off from the National Security Archive (a nonprofit) where I was working as a metadata #librarian & #indexer of declassified U.S. govt. documents. I am looking for in-person work in the #Baltimore area or #remotework (preferred). I have developed skills in #cataloging, #indexing, #organization, #research and #writing. #fediverse #fedihire #fedijobs

From the #TimeLibrary: Can't find a date on this #Longines book. WorldShare says this was published in 1968 but where's the evidence?
