I enjoyed my first day of cataloging. I linked catalog records in the new Millennium ILS so that the users can more easily find Congressional Hearings which had been bound together. I was surprised how fast the day flew by.
Although the work was repetitive, it was interesting to look at the various books and I found I had many questions. Instead of interrupting the cataloger every time I had a question, I set the books aside and twice during the day we went through the pile.
A couple of times I made mistakes. Once when a book was misshelved I didn't notice at first and changed the wrong catalog record by mistake. After that I was more careful about checking every call number and record. And isn't that what cataloging is all about?
