The Lighter Side of Cataloging
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. – e.e. cummings

Compiled by W. Lewis; edited by M. Urrizola
both of the Catalog Department, UCI Libraries.
Begun as a small
collection of items to show MLIS students by Heidi Hoerman of the University of South Carolina School
of Library and Information Science.
Artifacts or pictures of artifacts have been donated by many kind librarians and libraries.
From Warrior Librarians Weekly: the zine for librarians who refused to be classified. "Check it out!"
What happens before a book, CD or other item makes it to the library shelves? Take a fun, tongue-in-cheek, behind the scenes look at the Arlington Heights (Illinois) Memorial Library Technical Services department.

The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Library's RDA Test Work Site. While all links lead to legitimate RDA information, the layout and companion graphics are quite amusing.

- Quote: Catalogers do not have OCD. They have CDO. It's the same as OCD except the letters are in alphabetical order. -- AUTOCAT discussion list
