Dear Hasafran friends- I am writing to ask a cataloging question (not my forte!)
We have just switched to an online catalog using Surpass software. (By the way, the url to access our catalog is http://jewishnewhavencatalog.surpasssoftware.com/jewishnewhaven -- can someone tell me how to submit this link to the AJL website listing of members' catalogs? The niceties of the catalog, including graphics, recommended reading lists, etc, are still under construction, but the basics are there. So far, I love Surpass.) So, back to my question -- In the past, I have kept a shelf list in a file drawer -- all the paper sheets we used to record cataloging data before entering that data into our old computer program. Now that we are using a web-hosted catalog (backed up by the host every night) and importing MARC records, do I need to keep a paper-copy shelf list? What do you all think? How are you handling this? Thanks in advance!
