12:44	slef	hdl: but where is the initial value from?
13:45	slef	found it in C4/Output.pm
13:48	slef	kohabug 1161 updated
17:48	thd	kados: are you there?
17:48	thd	kados: I have committed
20:23	thd	kados: I am back
20:25	thd	kados: did you want to know about something related to http://libraries.idaho.gov/continuing-education
20:25	thd	?
20:26	kados	did I?
20:27	thd	kados: you wanted to communicate about aids for non-librarians, did you not?
20:28	kados	ahh, I didn't know that was the link you told me about
20:28	thd	kados: most anyone could do a better job than ABLE and SABLE but it would take a little effort
20:28	thd	kados: that is one and the one intended for non-librarians
20:35	kados	back
20:40	thd	kados: ABLE and SABLE simultaneously assumes things it should not and leaves out the simplest important things.
20:42	thd	kados: this DVD video cataloguing guide for example is intended more for professional librarians but is really helpful http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libra[…]d/dvdprimer2.html
20:45	thd	kados: ABLE and SABLE suggest reading AACR2 in as one next step for further instruction :)
20:46	kados	hehe
20:46	thd	kados: they would be much better off pointing to more resources like http://www.ala.org/ala/aasl/aa[…]/342swilliams.htm
20:48	thd	kados: or http://www.maine.gov/infonet/m[…]/manual/index.htm
20:50	thd	kados: you seemed especially interested in something related to training for non-librarians when we spoke about 2 hours ago
20:50	thd	kados: what was your special interest?
20:51	kados	well, I was just interested to know if there was a guide to cataloging that we could use for smaller libraries
20:51	kados	that don't have professional catalogers on staff
20:52	thd	kados: multiple ones, I will post some links with comments to wiki over the weekend
20:53	kados	sounds great!
20:53	thd	kados: like everything else the best resources may not be online for free
20:54	thd	kados: however, I have seen some extremely terrible books which some people have recommended
21:00	thd	kados: I learnt slowly by trying to figure out how to find things at the library better by interpreting the codes in the catalogue
21:00	thd	kados: however, I read the Follett LC Understanding MARC in 1995. I found that very helpful but that does not aim to teach cataloguing really
02:07	hdl	hi
02:15	btoumi	hi all
02:15	toins	hello world
