In September 2022 Missouri Evergreen hired a full-time Consortium Cataloger. Come discuss with the Chair of the Cataloging Committee and the Consortium Cataloger how they set priorities, divide the workload, and work together to wrangle a cataloging community of 60+ libraries. Whether a consortium’s cataloguing is centralised, partially-distributed, or fully-distributed, it’s crucial for members to agree upon policies, guidelines, and best practices. This presentation will review some of C/W MARS’ challenges, suggestions, and solutions in a multi-type consortium of 150+ libraries.
