    Abstract
    Proposes that the elimination of cataloguing backlogs in libraries is unnecessary if items in the backlog are accessible to library staff and users. Describes a cataloguing backlog project, carried out at the Virginia University Library system, that uses the features of the online catalogue to control and reduce the backlog, increase library user access to uncatalogued items, and train library staff in the creation of online bibliographic records. Contends that cataloguing backlogs, once under control and searchable in an online catalogue, should be considered a normal, non threatening part of the cataloguing workflow and not an evil to be eliminated

    Abstract
    This paper traces the development of a mentoring program for aspiring catalogers, sponsored and administered by the ALCTS CCS Committee on Education, Training, and Recruitment for Cataloging (CETRC). Background is given on the reasons for establishing the program, as well as the two pilot programs that preceded the current, ongoing mentoring service. Results of the assessment of the second pilot are shared. Though CETRC still faces challenges in sustaining the program on an ongoing basis, the Committee feels it is a valuable endeavor worth continuing.
