Introductions

I am not going to tell you who I am, because I want to maintain a distance between what I write here and my daily job, even though the one will naturally influence the other. Suffice it to say that I am a cataloguer (and have been for many many years - too many years, probably) and that I work in the United Kingdom. Although it hasn't always been the case, at the moment I am working in a public library. It's a fairly precarious position nowadays, and one of the things I want to explore through this blog is why this is so - why cataloguing is so little respected and valued. There will be lots of other things to say as well.

But, just in case the cloak of invisibility fails and you work out who I am, here is the all-important disclaimer - everything I say is my own opinion and I do not seek to represent the views of my employer or my colleagues.

And so - on to the first post.
