Hennepin County Library Cataloging Bulletins - indexes -1973-1978
Three students in the library -science program at St. Catherine University, Jaylene Telford, Charlotte Kadifa, and Amy GabbertMontag, have completed the first phase of their project that celebrates the innovative work of Hennepin County Library’s head cataloger Sandy Berman and his team. From 1973 to 1999, they produced the HCL Cataloging Bulletins, a widely distributed publication that documented the changes the catalogers made to outdated terms used by the Library of Congress. These Bulletins have been digitized and are now accessible on our Digital Collections. In addition, Jaylene, Charlotte, and Amy are conducting oral history interviews with Berman’s colleagues. Once completed, these interviews will be available online to complement the Bulletins, providing a deeper insight into their trailblazing cataloging work. This project aims to honor their legacy and offer valuable resources for research, highlighting the cultural and societal impact of their efforts.
