Cataloger's Desktop 3.0 Now Available - The Library Today (Library of Congress)

Dear All,

Library of Congress Launches Cataloger’s Desktop 3.0, Major Modernization of Subscription Service
The Library of Congress this week launched Cataloger’s Desktop 3.0, a major modernization of its popular web-based subscription service of important cataloging and metadata resources.

Desktop, available from the Cataloging Distribution Service, provides catalogers access to more than 280 electronic manuals, cataloging and classification standards, procedures and resources. The new 3.0 version adds operational enhancements, greatly expanding its search and information-discovery features.

Beacher Wiggins, director of the Library’s Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate, said "Cataloger’s Desktop 3.0 is a good example of the Library’s continuing commitment to catalogers everywhere."

Subscribers to Desktop have automatically received the new version, and catalogers soon will have an opportunity to see Desktop 3.0 demonstrated at the Library of Congress exhibit booth at the American Library Association midwinter meeting in Boston in January 2010.
