Item “Don’t Jobs Change?” Substitution of Professionals by Support Staff in Public Libraries, 1997-2007(Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2012-04-13) Applegate, Rachel A.Among MLS-level librarians, there is substantial anecdotal prevalence of the idea that administrators of public libraries seek to reduce costs by replacing MLS librarians with support staff. The migration of tasks such as copy and original cataloging and reference services to support staff has been well-documented. This study used national data from the Public Libraries Survey, from 1997 and 2007, to test this substitution hypothesis. Data indicates that for this time period, the utilization of MLS librarians as a percent of total library staffs did not diminish overall. Relative to population served, libraries did not reduce MLS positions but did increase support staffing. This has implications for understanding the 2008-2013 period of reduced public resources, and for the staffing of public libraries in the longer term.Item The Future of Cataloging(2013-08) Baich, TinaJoin us as Tina Baich, Librarian from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, discusses the future of cataloging, RDA, metadata and the Library of Congress and the upcoming changes that will affect how your technical services department moves the library in the 21st century.Item Subject headings and searchable notes : how catalogers improve access to Latin American collections at UNC-Chapel Hill libraries(2016-05-12) Levinson, SaraBrief discussion of cataloging Brazilian cordel literature, adding contents notes, and proposing subject headings and call numbers to the Library of Congress.
