Guest speakers at the session will be Dr. William Peniston, manager of the Library and Archives at The Newark Museum in New Jersey, and Mark Braden, catalog librarian at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Peniston and Braden will discuss how they address their cataloging issues: backlogs, limited resources, non-English titles, future collection acquisitions and more.

They'll explain:

• The challenges at their libraries
• Why they chose to outsource cataloging with OCLC
• What to look for and what to avoid when selecting a service
• How to create a process that works for your library
• Why it makes sense to outsource certain formats and materials
