Title

¬A tale of two serials catalogers : their education and training

Abstract

Learning to be a serials cataloger can be very challenging due to the changing nature of serials. However, the foundations of serials cataloging are basically the same as for cataloging in general. In this article, two serials catalogers discuss their experiences in library school and on the job as they were initiated into the mysteries of serials cataloging.
