So, yes our catalog isn’t the best in the world. And yes, we have a new Discovery Tool that will change all of our lives. Well, once it is out of beta and we all learn to use it. In the meantime, I have to teach our new Residential College liaison the ins and outs of the catalog without boring her (and me) to tears. My gut instinct was a mind map, but it was too hard to draw that in a word processing program (and I can’t download software on this computer). Hand drawn seemed to informal. So, I created a Prezi from my hand drawn mind map. And here it is http://prezi.com/xj9fhjxlimuy/catalog-whats-in-there/. Hope it works and hope it doesn’t make her (or me) seasick. If you have any suggestions, let me know (preferably before 1:30pm today!).
First attempt at Prezi will make a catalog fun?

Excellent presentation! I sure wish I’d seen this before I started my OPAC evaluation last semester in Cataloging…!
By the way, I’m learning a lot from this blog. It’s good to see how other schools’ (/my former school) libraries do things.
