Questions have arisen at our library
respecting expectations
for the number of maps to be cataloged per unit of time (month
or year).
At issue is whether to have stated
expectations.
We would be interested to learn whether map
catalogers elsewhere
are given numerical expectations and, if so, how the
expectations are
determined and applied.
A related question: To what extent
do expectations vary
numerically with respect to copy
cataloging vs. original cataloguing for maps. Also, do
you do
short record cataloging for maps and, if so, how does that
factor into the
expectations?
It would be helpful to know whether your
response relates to
the work of a “full-time” map cataloger or to that of a
cataloger
with mixed duties.
Please feel free to respond online or offline
directly to
me.
Many thanks in advance.
