Re: Seeking discussion of serials cataloging problems Kathleen Thorne 19 Dec 1996 15:30 UTC

In reply to Joe Altimus's request for comments:

What about some discussion concerning the current trend (at least I've
been told it's a trend, not just local policy) of getting rid of
serials catalogers and turning serials cataloging over to untrained
librarians and staff? that is, untrained in SERIALS cataloging,
serials problems & management.

I'm very concerned about this, as I watch the quality of the serials
portion of our online catalog disintegrate into pre-AACR mush.
