Dear colleagues, In case of interest- here's another round-up of some articles on cataloguing and library topics. Here's a follow-up post on the Constructive Summer blog about the library catalogue, and 'shared cataloguing' (from 4th August): http://unifiedlibraryscene.blogspot.co.nz/ Another North American blog 'Libhub.org' has various articles on Linked Data, as well as a short video on Calgary Public Library's approach (from 6th August): http://www.libhub.org/blog/ An article on "Awesome metadata" by Andy Fenton, via Linked In (posted 6th August): https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/awesome-metadata-andy-fenton And as our Museum Library Reading Room's old card catalogue often draws interest, nostalgia or curiosity from visitors of all ages, I thought I'd share this stylish photograph (among others on this Buzzfeed<http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/19-vintage-photographs-of-stylin-librarians#.wflRN0L6o>, posted 24th July) of lovely Librarians hard at work: [cid:image003.jpg@01D0D108.BE34A890] pinterest.com<http://pinterest.com/pin/89157267592852776/> Have a good weekend!
