Cataloging, Collections and Technical Services
Gil Kenner and Ken Winter had a conference call with Wade France and Nuny Morgan (who manage the Skillsoft contract) to understand the value of MARC records provided by the vendor as they negotiate their next contract. Work was finalized on historical collection of VTRC photos in time for 75th anniversary which occurred in November. In addition, Gil met with Jaeger Broholm in Central Office communications and acquired 6 boxes of historic photos of the HRBT construction. He immediately began scanning work on that collection. We hope to unveil that collection in whole or in part at the Fall 2024 Library Users Group meeting.
