Changing rules, changing roles

Changing rules, changing roles

Being a cataloguer in 2012

Change is the new normal

• Changing materials

• Changing roles

New tasks?

New challenges?

New opportunities!

Well, maybe…

New opportunities• Acquisitions

We often have to send back items to be re-done due to errors, duplicating the amount of time and work we spend

on it.

The jobs we have to ask them to do

could easily be done by the ALs and the

turnaround time would be

instantaneous.

With less stock to be catalogued, central

ordering for the lending libraries and catalogue records available to be

bought in - why is there a need for [so many staff in

BSS]?

There is potential for further reductions from BSS.

I’m not exactly new but BSS is a mystery to me and I have no experience of what

they do from their end.
