Just completed major project at work

May 27, 2009 12:21

Just now completed the major long-term GIKCS project I was assigned 3 yrs. ago:  OCLC database search for bibliographic records for uncataloged state documents CA-WY (start date 6/20/06).  Wow, the unreality.  Some of these documents were quite intriguing (e.g. the ones re. obscenity and censorship issues).

High 5 all the way!




Here's the front cover image of an uncataloged WA state document whose OCLC title search was exceptionally challenging (Operation Swinger, the WA State Dept. of Public Assistance 1969 manual for summer employment for youth).  It was difficult to extract the title fr. all these psychedelically swirly graphic components and there's no title page (OCLC accession no. 41796350).  We're sending this item to tech services for cataloging and subsequent inclusion in our collections since the WA State Library (WRJ) is the one and only OCLC library that owns it.
