1 Law Cataloger 1 (1975-1976)

handle is hein.lcc/tsll0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE LAW CATA L OGER a Newsletter of the Cataloging and Classification Committee of the American Association of Law Libraries What it's all about At the 197 convention in St. Paul, the prospect of a newsletter was mentioned in passing at the meeting of the Cataloging and Classification Committee. Response was so enthusiastic that Cecilia Kwan and I, with the help of several others, finally decided that the Committee should begin to publish a newsletter devoted to the concerns of the law cataloger. What are the concerns of the law cataloger? Not an easy question to answer. It's relatively easy to identify the main areas of concern: classification, descriptive cataloging, subject cataloging, and catalog department management including file management. Within these areas, however, there is a vast diver- gence of interests. Some of us manage the cataloging departments of large law libraries; others work in them. Some of us have three hours a week to spend on cataloging while running a one-man law office library; others catalog the law bocks of a general library. Many of us use LC in all of its facets: Anglo-American cataloging rules, K schedule, L.C. subject headings; others use some L.C. tools or none at all. For an increasing number of our members U.S. law is foreign law. What we all have is questions and the feeling that there isn't any place to turn for answers. We're hoping that this newsletter will be the place you can ask your questions and a place you can look to for information you should know about new developments in cataloging and classification. I suspect that the word clearinghouse accurately describes what we hope to do. The newsletter will contain some articles of length dealing with theoret- ical aspects of its subject matter, but, on the whole, it will deal with the practical aspects of our profession. We'd like to give you information you need to know and might not have the source material to find out, tell you how a fellow cataloger solved this problem good and answer specific questions you have about your work. That's why you'll find so many columns in the newsletter.
