<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Good Morning,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I agree with everyone who expressed the importance of having a better understanding of catalog searching and retrieving. It also has the pleasant side effect of helping staff gain a better understanding of their ILS as a whole, such as "Why doesn't the Bib Call # always match our local call number?" "What is the record database id, and where does this information live?" "What is this option to Retrieve Bib Record by TCN? What's the significance of the TCN?" Regarding the item record, understanding the various fields within the item record interface helps staff to better understand the Item Status Detail View. I've worked with staff migrating their special collections, who have limited cataloging experience; this requires us to take the conversation back to the basic elements/ differences between Meta, Bib, "Volume" / Item (holdings) level information, and their interdependence. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 22, 2021 at 4:42 PM Jessica Philyaw via Evergreen-catalogers <<a href="mailto:evergreen-catalogers@list.evergreen-ils.org">evergreen-catalogers@list.evergreen-ils.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small">Knowing something about cataloging helps all staff understand how the catalog works, and therefore how better to use it to find materials for patrons. Cataloging is about customer service. I think it's also great for catalogers to work a public desk from time to time, to see how their work enables discovery and influences patron satisfaction.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 22, 2021 at 3:26 PM Kate Coleman via Evergreen-catalogers <<a href="mailto:evergreen-catalogers@list.evergreen-ils.org" target="_blank">evergreen-catalogers@list.evergreen-ils.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Fellow catalogers and Technical Services gurus.
