The Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) is an organization that supports libraries statewide. CLiC’s AspenCat Union Catalog allows over 100 small and rural libraries to share resources. Small libraries often cannot devote lots of time to work on their catalogs and only twelve CLiC staff serve all of Colorado. That’s where I came in. At time of submission, I had examined over 600 brief and duplicate catalog records—over 400 of which I resolved by merging and/or overlaying. After supporting CLiC staff at cataloging trainings, on May 15 I traveled to Rocky Ford, CO to assist in a hands-on staff training.
