What’s New in the Catalog Department?

We’ve changed some assignments in the Catalog Department. These changes follow our increasing emphasis on cataloging different types of material including online resources, uncataloged Special Collections material and non-print material such as maps and images. Also, with these changes Felicity is no longer doing double duty as a unit head and department head.
