[Evergreen-catalogers] Catalogers unite!

[John Jones]

Knowing some cataloging means that you can more efficiently search for 
items, and in some cases can spot problems with records and evaluate 
whether it is something you can fix yourself (with prior authorization, 
of course) or whether to send the problem to a cataloger--especially 
useful in smaller/understaffed libraries!

In addition, knowing catalog basics makes it much easier to search the 
catalog and find items based on the record's description. That means 
getting items for patrons faster, which means happier patrons (and 
happier managers).
