D. Previously I had created a subject heading list of terms to use to catalog the resources with. My three supervisors had comments on my terms so I spent a good hour revamping the list and creating one hopefully authoritative list. LibraryThing also has some synonyms that are tags are all come up when either one is searched so that is helpful too. Then I officially set up the FSN catalog on LibraryThing (check it out here: http://www.librarything.com/profile/FamilySupportNetwork). I entered the in the basic organizational information and set up the collections. The library will have 3 collections: FSN, Children's Developmental Services collection, and a wish list collection. Then I started cataloging. I already had my game plan set of what information I was going to put in which of the librarything blocks (Since we are modifying some and codifying some). For example in the comments section the only two things in that section will be the location of the resource and if it is available. In the private comments section will be the information about if it is checkout who has it and when it was checked out. I got through cataloging six books, and then I took a box of materials will be home to catalog as well.
E. Yesterday was so exciting! I created a product that is live online and that anyone can see I progress has been made. So it felt really good to get started cataloging.
AL. As I cataloged the first six books I realized that I was going really slowly because I wanted to get a real feel for what the book was about and therefore categorize it accurately. So I feel like I learned more about my strengths and weaknesses as a cataloger and how long this might really take me
