| Acquisitions
and Cataloging at the Wellesley College Library merges the traditional
functions of library acquisitions, cataloging, database management, and general supplies into one work group.The department
is located on the main floor
of the Clapp Library
at Wellesley College. While the organization, maintenance and accuracy of information in the Innovative Interfaces online catalog is the primary responsibility of the entire department, most responsibilities are distributed among all of the department members. The Acquisitions function provides searching, purchasing and payment for requested monographic library materials in most formats. The Cataloging function then organizes, classifies and represents all new and gift library materials using bibliographic records in the Innovative Interfaces online catalog. These records are either derived from or contributed to OCLC, a database which is used by thousands of libraries worldwide. The department is also responsible for the updating the online catalog with current name and subject heading authority information to ensure the consistency and accuracy of name, place and subject headings used for searching the online catalog and ordering supplies for the Library. |
