TS and Employment Prospects?
LIBM 443 is not designed to increase the number of catalogers in the world (but one goal is to help more librarians understand computerized cataloging so they can create and edit MARC records, ensuring a higher level of quality control for their library OPAC and other libraries in a shared interlibrary loan network). It is, however, worth emphasizing that there is a shortage of people working in technical services fields. This has bearing on any library if the director needs to find a cataloger, acquisitions librarian, systems person, webmaster, etc. There is also relevance to public and school libraries. The smaller the number of catalogers in a consortium or state system, the harder it is to get copy-catalog records for local publications (a copy-cat record is essentially using someone else’s work so you do not have to spend the time generating it yourself; it is often the difference between exporting someone else’s computer record or creating and typing your own, etc.).
