Why I keep doing it

I have been doing a log of cataloging lately. I am now a solo librarian at a graduate school.  As a solo librarian, I have to be able to do everything. We have been fortunate to receive hundreds of great books in donations.  I am anxious to get as many of these as possible on the shelves as quickly as possible.  Cataloging is not my favorite part of library work.  I know of many people who love cataloging.  I tend to lean more towards public services. In my last post, I mentioned that I once was given a button that said, "Cataloging is a public service."  I continue to spend time every day cataloging because, as I read through all that code, I have the end users in mind.  I am thinking of the students who will be doing important projects and may need the book that I am cataloging at that time.  This keeps me going.
