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!<br>
<br>
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).<br>

<div>Fellow catalogers and Technical Services gurus. If you
could share your thoughts with me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
How would you answer this question from a fellow library
worker (from ANY department from clerk to Admin!) who DOES NOT
catalog?</div>
