Cataloging Continuing Resources Cataloging

CAT Supports the Libraries' mission to provide access to our collections by assisting with the cataloging of continuing resources. CAT specializes in the cataloging of integrating resources, e-journals, serial unit orders, first issues, title changes, serial gifts, and depository items. CAT plays a large role in answering questions and resolving problems with the cataloging of serials, whether individually or as part of larger projects. In addition, CAT assists with updating LibHas statements.
