Abstract:
How can catalogers and archivists better work together for the benefit of their users, public services staff, conservators, and the collection in general? More and more people self-identify as “special collections catalogers” rather than either book or manuscript catalogers. How are current trends blurring the lines between the roles of rare book catalogers and technical services archivists? This promises to be a lively discussion of the interaction between the archival and rare book communities’ practices, standards and cultures.
