So, the question of the day was about how to catalog a church's library.This article has some great suggestions especially in regards to collection management decision making.In addition to determining which audience level, type of media, and subject headings schema to use (Sears, LCSH, etc.), I would add to also figure out how you want to provide access to the catalog and what you want to use it for. Do you want a system where you can also circulate items?

Lots of resources related to the recent lawsuit against OCLC including recent articles, blog postings, procedural court docs.

The final report of the Open Library Environment project is available for reading. ♥ this project with its focus on the behind the scenes... because if the behind the scenes (processing system/database/data) doesn't work very well, the public interface is not going to work very well. I am definitely keeping an eye on this project and I hope to be able to contribute in some way in the future.
