Intner's 'Cataloging Correctly For Kids'

The majority of books and other materials selected have been reviewed and recommended by professional librarians or reviewers. The selection is an process, in which librarians look for materials that will provide a broad range of viewpoints and topics. This means that while library collections have thousands of items families want, like and need, they also will have materials that some parents may find offensive to them or inappropriate for their children. Because an item is selected does not mean the librarian accepts or promotes it. He or she is simply helping the library to fulfill its mission of providing information from all points of view. The ALA organization provides a standard in which librarians follow. These standards are sometimes recognized as the librarian bill of rights. these ALA rights state that:

A unique feature is, they hand-pick their books; these books consists of Canadian small presses, national publishers, and international imprints as they echo the diversity of their customer’s interests (BryanPrinceBookseller, 2015). One of the main reasons why this bookstore has been so successful is because of the passion held within the business. The owners are all enthusiastic readers and highly value the art and heritage behind literature. In addition they are always happy to discuss what they are currently reading and are capable of making

Picture books are a big part of a child’s life. They make the reading experience fun and a time to look forward too. They help children explore the world with their imagination and connect with characters and events. They also provide joy and comfort. Picture books show their meaning in a very unique way. They use verbal and visual text to relate to the world. Both verbal and visual text work together in synchrony to narrate the story. Meaning represented in this way invites the reader to attend to both in order to make sense of the story. Revisiting and old picture book is like revisiting an old friend.

Selection of a material should fill a need and purpose. A material should be examined closely when duplicating existing content. Both in print and digital formats, the considered material, should broaden and add value to the collection (Bishop, 2013). This is different from duplicating a print item with an electronic resource. In this instance, this book is in a series and broadens the view of the existing content. This particular book is also important as it is sequential and is not independent of the other novels. The consideration of this electronic item is not to for replacement purposes, but to duplicate it to expand the collection. It was is to allow users a choice in format. Both print and electronic formats use scope as selection

It has a clean interface that is easy to read. A search for ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling readily retrieved this title as the first result. The use of ‘Facets’ to narrow the scope of the search by ‘Availability’, ‘Location’ and ‘Author’ made it easy to determine that there are two copies of this title at High Wycombe – one is on loan and the other is available. The catalogue is quite friendly and would be easily used by children as young as ten, although an explanation of how facets work may be required for this age group. There seemed to be two reasons for this; one, the system seemed to accept a lot of keywords which increased the chances of the catalogue returning a good result and two, because all the information, related to the items’ status and availability, is all on the one page identifying the correct result and working out how to acquire the title was relatively

Booksellers across the country have confirmed that sales have been suffering and publishers have been scaling back the numbers of titles released in the last several years. Scholastic, one of the largest publishers and distributors of children’s books, repeated this fact in a 2010 list of trends in children’s books. According to the list publishers are publishing about 25 to 30 percent fewer picture book titles than they used to as some parents want their kids to read more challenging books at younger ages. The new trend is leading to popular picture book characters such as Pinkalicious, Splat Cat and Brown Bear, Brown Bear showing up in Beginning Reader books, Scholastic (2010). The New York Times also cites this trend. It would appear that parents are feeling a growing pressure for their children to read more challenging texts. Writer of The Zen Leaf, a book blog, Amanda Gignac is a stay at home mother, she wants to advance her children’s skills, saying “her youngest son, Laurence, started reading chapter books when he was 4,” NY Times (2010). Although she later remarks that although Laurence is now 6 and tackling 80 page chapter books, he is still a “reluctant reader,” and

“Technology” by H. Stephen Wright is a scholarly article detailing the inefficiencies of technology dealing with cataloging in libraries. In this article, Wright’s main argument surrounds the difficulty of predicting future technological breakthroughs, specifically in libraries and the music industry. He continually criticizes and undermines the power that modern technology possesses. He goes on to find fault in the durability of technology because libraries have to constantly update its collection. Granted that this article was written more than a decade ago, Wright’s criticism still presents a limited understanding of the possibilities of technological advancements.
