Beginning Cataloguing

If you're looking for books about Cataloguing, Classification, Metadata and Knowledge Organization, this is probably a good place to start. We've also added a list of our Winter reading for pleasure comprising an artists' book, some books about bookselling, Richard Ovenden's bestseller about libraries and a classic reference work about superstitions. More lists will follow in 2021.

Beginning Cataloguing offers Writing, Advice and Training on cataloguing and related activities. We work with a range of individuals and organisations to help them organise their books, archives, data and other information. Our monthly newsletter, Beginning Cataloguing Monthly  includes course and event listings, plus exclusive features including: Cataloguing Careers, Beginnings Bookshelves (featuring books we love), Typo Tip-offs, and a Metadata Muddle for readers to solve. If this sounds like your kind of thing, you can sign up here.

We are: Anne Welsh and Associates Binni Brynolf, Ash Green, Concetta La Spada, Yvonne Lewis, and Katharine Schopflin.
