“…The wonders he could accomplish using technology guided by a strong grasp of what was needed cannot be replicated by anyone without both. Two major examples are collaborative development of automation for statistics and of donor bookplates in the catalog [8]. But returning to the evils of specialization, I would say that if cataloging research were the legendary elephant then we may all be blind men touching tails, trunks and legs, each wrongly convinced we know the animal.…”

Report on the Future of Bibliographic Control, began work as a subgroup focused on research. Two of the mandates issued by that weighty report on bibliographic control were concerned with research:1. Through library and information science and continuing education, foster a greater understanding of the need for research, both quantitative and qualitative, into issues of bibliographic control.2. Work to develop a stronger, more rigorous culture of formal evaluation, critique and validation and build a cumulative research agenda and evidence base. Encourage, highlight, reward and share best research practice and results. [1, pp. 37-38] In December of 2008 as we were making a list of ways we could help ALCTS advance the above cataloging research objectives, we wondered if one way to foster a greater understanding of the need for research might be to declare a Year of Cataloging Research. With support from the rest of the task group, and especially our chair Kate Harcourt, the idea came to fruition. Responding to our proposals, the following year ALCTS and the American Library Association (ALA) indeed declared 2010 to be the Year of Cataloging Research.[2] Fostering a Greater Understanding of the Need for ResearchWith the stage thus set, programs and publications celebrating cataloging research came rolling out.

These and other library organizations, spurred on by forward thinking individuals, promoted the current and critical importance of cataloging research through conference presentations, panels and round table discussions throughout the year. The year 2010 also saw a proposal for an agenda for cataloging research, including conducting catalog user surveys, examining the effects of outsourcing and analyzing information retrieval with online catalogs. Catalogers were encouraged to recognize the value of what they learn through internal projects, to publish and share discoveries with others and to get actively involved with library decision making at their institutions. Cataloging research should be geared toward understanding the perspectives of the information producer and consumer, thereby enhancing the application of library cataloging skills to serve information access.

“…Librarians Lisa German and Karen Schmidt jointly authored a descriptive article about leading the creation of this "unique program of honoring faculty who attain the honor of tenure and/or promotion in rank" as the "only event on campus where the promotion and/or tenure of all faculty members was recognized in a public way" (German and Schmidt 2001). Since that time, similar programs have been developed in other places, some extending the idea of faculty bookplates to virtual bookplates in the library catalog and bookplates in honor of donors (Carrico, Fleming, and Simpson 2010;Foster and Robinson 2012). Faculty promotion programs at other universities also typically solicit "a brief paragraph as to why they (faculty member) selected that particular book" (Riddle et al 2005).…”

Using storytelling as a framework, this study analyzes a faculty promotion book plating ritual through the lens of a twenty-year corpus of faculty-created and library-gathered data. The sources for this analysis are faculty reasons for book selection, or "book stories," which are part of an annual book plating ritual at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign library to celebrate promotion and tenure. Findings include increased personal information sharing over time. Libraries in the midst of pandemic reinventions should consider sustaining, reviving, and innovating new forms of storytelling to extend the impact of the library as the bedrock of academic community. "The expanding frame of Max's world leads him from his bedroom and his wolf suit out into the world of wild things. The thrill of this journey into the unknown is what I aspire to teach my students to love." ~ 2013 selection statement for Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak
