- My recent activities
- Cataloging HUD (Housing and Urban Development) Collection. This collection contains local and regional plans in every US state. The holding of these plans in WorldCat are not many, especially in my local state. It is worth to catalog and preserve in the library. The collection is relative big. To be faster, this collection is classified in a special way by which plans in each state are kept together by using the regional planning number, then distiquish by the region or city.
Items cataloged in this collection can be found by searching keyword "HUD collection" (also can add the state name in your keyword search if you want to search a specific state) in our local database UICCat or our consortium database I-Share.- Cataloging Political and Social Activism Pamphlet Collection. As our Special Collection Dept. has described, this collection contains "totals around 11,000 pamphlets, published nationally and internationally between the mid-19th and late-20th centuries, and covering such topics as trade unionism, race relations, and left and right-wing political movements."
At first, we cataloged the collection item by item. To make it faster, now it is cataloged as collection divided by subjects. A MARC field 505 is added in each record to record the individual title of each subject.
All titles that have been cataloged in this collection so far can be found by searching keyword "Political and Social Activism Pamphlet Collection" in our local database UICCat or our consortium database I-Share
