Interesting group of materials (presentations, webinars, etc.) about employer expectations and what they do not teach in “library school” in regards to the cataloging profession.

Panel members shared their professional viewpoints and personal experiences related to the changing technical skills, education requirements, cataloging and bibliographic access competencies and employers’ expectations for catalog librarians in the 21st century.
