professional benefits to exploring
          regionality?

                  Karen F. Pierce
                      Cardiff University

            CILIP Cataloguing and Indexing Group
                      Conference 2012
Group social identity
• “…a social category…into which one falls,
  and to which one feels one belongs,
  provides a definition of who one is in terms
  of the defining characteristics of the
  category – a self-definition that is a part of
  the self-concept.” Hogg, Terry & White
  (1995, 259)
“A manifestation of cataloguers”
                                @Heather_Jardine




“An authority of cataloguers”
@HelBader
Cataloguing in Wales
            Wales
Population: 3, 063,500
Approx 20 % Welsh speakers

How many cataloguers…?
Geographical problems
• Mountain ranges           Llandrindod Wells –
  dividing country         awkward for everyone!
• Travel North to South
  by train via England
• Rural areas
• Travelling to sessions
  in England/Scotland
  not always practical
Conversations with Cataloguers in
       Wales Conference
All Wales cataloguing group?
• Regular meetings       • E-mail discussion list

• Training sessions      • Exchange of ideas
  held in Wales
                         • Visits
• Bi-annual conference
                         • Support network
• Social events
AWHILES partnership
 (location of libraries)
AWHILES cataloguing (1)
  Cataloguing Issues

• 27 libraries +
  university libraries
• Lack of cataloguing
  knowledge
• Only one AWHILES
  library has
  cataloguing staff
AWHILES cataloguing (2)
             Cataloguing solutions

            • AWHILES cataloguer
            • Training sessions
            • Support via email and
              phone
            • Monthly reports to
              check
AWHILES cataloguing summary

• 27 NHS libraries + university libraries on
  one catalogue
• Wide geographic spread of libraries
• Quality control maintained by university
• Close working relationships and support
• Benefits for roving user groups (students
  and doctors on placement)
All-Wales higher education LMS
• JISC-funded Library Systems
  Shared Services Feasibility
  Study




http://blogs.cf.ac.uk/sharedlms/

• 12 Universities plus National
  Library of Wales as
  supporting member
