I enjoyed reading the prescient 'Do Archive Catalogues Make History?: Exploring Interactions between Historians and Archives' by Richard Dunley and the sadly missed Jo Pugh

'The role of external factors from the quality of a catalogue to the availability of digitized resources in shaping historians’ research is becoming increasingly visible'
Participants in breakout groups are given collection items to catalog and describe. We had to brainstorm the fields/categories required.
We ditched Excel and went back to basic with pen and paper.

I really wish I could just freelance write MARC21 records 😔 Or, hell, even voluntary...
If I want to keep working for the county, which I really do, there's no way I'm going to work with MARC21 again any time soon, but man... I already miss it
The June issue of Catalogue & Index focuses on the theme of using generative AI in #metadata and #cataloging work.

From the #TimeLibrary: Can't find a date on this #Longines book. WorldShare says this was published in 1968 but where's the evidence?
The German National Library @DNB_Aktuelles AI team just published a paper "Automatic Subject Cataloguing at the German National Library" in LIBER Quarterly (open access):
https://doi.org/10.53377/lq.19422
The paper documents in detail how they use open source tools such as Git, Data Version Control and Annif to implement automatic assignment of DDC classes and GND subject terms to digital publications in various formats. Great work!

The Mills Archive Trust will have 2 webinars 23+30 november. The passage of time endangers the skills, art and memory encapsulated in archival records. Defending your collection from threats, such as the elements, pests and digital decay. Equally importantly, they explaine how to make them accessible through cataloguing physical records and creating digital copies.
