Discovery & Recovery

Welcome to cataloging the abyss, a blog about cataloging library materials and the discoveries I make along the way.  First, a little about my job ; I’m a cataloger responsible for adding books from our hidden collections, gifts and any other random item that crosses my desk.  In the course of a day, I see all sorts of topics.  I plan to share the better and most interesting items here, hoping they recover their significance and utility.  There will also be thoughts about libraries, cataloging, technology and how they intersect.

Enjoy, maybe you’ll find something you just have to check out.
