Two years ago, Missouri Evergreen implemented a cataloging certification program using a pdf document, YouTube, and the test server. Although consortium catalogers were able to complete the process and earn their certifications the program was clunky – labor intensive and difficult to update along with software upgrades. In order to streamline the process and prepare for a bi-annual recertification process it was decided the program was in need of a complete overhaul. In this session I will discuss how we created our certification program, set standards, managed expectations, and automated the process with an LMS.
