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 4^th August):

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 6^th August): http://www.libhub.org/blog/

An article on “Awesome metadata” by Andy Fenton, via Linked In (posted 6^th 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, posted 24^th July) of lovely Librarians hard at work:

Have a good weekend!
