New Blog on the Block
January 5, 2009… the cataloguing block, that is.
Her post today to AUTOCAT alerted me to Heidi Hoerman’s new blog (started this very day). From its statement of purpose (5 Jan):
The purpose of this blog is to try to bring clarity to our view of the near future for cataloging and catalogers. It advances no agenda for what should be that future but only tries to interpret what is happening and to assess implications of changes.
Heidi Hoerman is probably best known in the UK cataloguing community as the curator of The Virtual Museum of Cataloging and Acquisitions Artifacts. She’s an instructor at University of South Carolina School of Library & Information Science, but as is always the way with such things “Nothing said in [her] blog in any way reflects official opinions of the University of South Carolina.” (‘Who’s Heidi?’, Future4catalogers’ Blog, 5 January 2009)
