Journal Article
Forward Progress with the Backlog
2024
Overview
Backlogs are nothing new. Personnel changes, a sudden influx of donations, complexity of materials to be cataloged, and countless other factors can lead to this proverbial thorn in a librarian's side. When Abbott began a new job cataloging at Texas Woman's University in fall of 2022, he inherited a significant backlog. As the sole original cataloger, he was concerned about how to make any progress while still handling daily cataloging needs. Fortunately, he joined a team that was open to finding creative solutions. Together, they implemented a strategy that helped them claim victory in their backlog battle.
