Thanks to all of the excellent members of the working groups; we put together some good arguments and resources on the importance of cataloging and metadata work!!
Could you use help explaining the value of #cataloging & good metadata to your admin, coworkers, #MLIS students, etc.? Happy to share this set of resources put together by an ALA working group chaired by @magsjoy.bsky.social. All of these & more are available at hdl.handle.net/11213/22872. 📚

Couldn’t find the book I was looking for at the local Barnes and Noble, then wandered off after asking after it, so I had to respond to “will the customer looking for Absolution come to the reference desk.”
