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.

Quick Post #7: AI for Cataloging in the Home
Home use for AI: Our user manuals, warranty cards, directions, etc. for electronics, appliances, etc. were totally unorganized and in several locations.

I'm so fortunate to have such incredible #cataloging colleagues. This project presented a unique opportunity for general collections catalogers to help a rare books library catalog an enormous influx of modern editions. https://libraries.indiana.edu/catalogingkripke

"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.

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

Let’s talk about data security: How to back-up your TMS database
This is a step-by-step guide on how to backup your database if you are using a product of The Museum System (TMS) by Gallery Systems. If you use a different system it will work differently. Ask your vendor about it.
Step 1: Log into your database server and open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
You usually find it fastest if you start typing “SQL Server Management…” into the Windows search box.
Step 2: Enter your credentials
You will be prompted to enter your login credentials. If you are on NT Authentication usually all you have to do is click on “Connect”. If you have another form of authentication you will have to enter those login details. Your IT will tell you what to enter in that case.
Step 3: Find your database
In the tree hierarchy, open the folder “Databases” and find your database. It is usually called something like “TMS”. In my case it is called “Leer”.
Step 4: Navigate to the backup menu
Right click on your database, choose “Tasks” and then “Back Up…”
If that option is greyed out, you might not have the rights to do this. in which case you should talk to your IT so you get those rights.
Step 5: Chose your backup method
You will get to this screen:
Here you can choose if you want to do a full or differential backup (we talked about that here). You select that in the drop-down “Backup type”. We chose “Full” for this backup.
As a destination, usually “Disk” is fine, since you probably want to have the backup on your computer first and then transfer it to a cloud later.
Sometimes you will see a backup file already in the screen below that. If that’s the case, remove it, first.
Then click on “Add…”
Step 6: Add the file you want to back up to
By default, Microsoft suggest a rather cryptic sub-folder for your backups. I’d recommend adding a folder in a more prominent place that you can easily find and back up to there. You can see mine being “M:\Backups”.
Enter a file name for your backup. This can be the date you took it (Best Practice is to note the date in a year-month-day format so you can easily sort by date if you have multiple backup files) or a significant pointer to when you took it, for example “BeforeUpgradeTo995” if this is your backup before upgrading to a new version. Don’t forget to add “.bak” as a file ending, otherwise you might run into difficulties to restore it, later.
You can see that I called mine “AfterCI2025.bak” because it is the backup I took after adding a significant amount of information from our user conference.
Once you entered the name, hit “OK”.
Step 7: Take your backup
After that you just need to click on “OK” and your backup will be taken. If you have enough disc space in your chosen location, all is fine, otherwise it will throw an error message.
That was it. Wasn’t too hard, was it? And now you are good to go and bring your database to a safe location. I will do another post on how to compress the backup and restore it on another server.
Take your backup and take care!

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?

Today from the #TimeLibrary: When is a book not a book? I've written about all the weird things that are kind-of books. Maybe books? Sort-of books.

Oh, look, someone tried to catalog the ever-expanding universe of AI dev tools—like herding digital cats with a PowerPoint presentation. 😹🔧 Spoiler alert: it's just a glorified list of overpriced, jargon-filled apps that promise to turn your half-baked code into... slightly less half-baked code. 💸💻

Had to dig through genealogical sites to credit the co-translator of Marx's _Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy_.
(Nahum Isaac Stone, credited on the title page, closes his preface with "This statement would be incomplete if the translator failed to mention the helpful participation in this work by his wife, whose share in the translation is equal to his own." But Esther isn't named anywhere in the book or in any prior catalog records I found.)
