Reblogged from dark-side-of-the-catalogue:
During my stint last week in SCOLAR cataloguing some of the Rare Books Collection, I catalogued a couple of books from the "Literature of libraries in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries series", published by A. C. McClurg, and printed by the Merrymount Press in 1906. Just thought I would share some of the pearls of wisdom and advice that shone out from these texts.
Highlighting an excellent post from one of our cataloguers, featuring advice on customer care, cataloguing and collection management... from a 17th century librarian!
