>I'm head of original cataloging at the University of Houston Libraries. As
>such, I supervise one other cataloger. She mainly does special
>collections, and I mainly do music and sound recordings. We both do all
>the original cataloging, add LC call numbers and subject headings when
>they are not on the OCLC records, participate in NACO and do some
>upgrading of OCLC records (we are not in BIBCO, nor Enhance), and catalog
>all the print serials, non-print formats, maps, microforms. Another
>program consisting of a professional and an assistant does all the
>electronic resources. Both of us catalogers also work at the reference
>desk, and I am a subject librarian/selector.
