Spring Cleaning the Catalog and Other Tasks: WFH Projects for Catalogers

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several institutions rapidly transitioned their employees to working from home. The University of Central Oklahoma was one of these institutions, and among those working from home were the library's copy catalogers. These staff members' every day work does not lend well to working from home, so this presentation covers the types of work and their benefits to patrons that copy catalogers can perform off-site. Projects discussed include fixing bad diacritics, foreign language records, and batch cataloging in Microsoft Excel.NoMax Chambers Librar
