Starting today writers can submit their books to Self-e, the library’s independent ebook publisher. Books submitted to Self-e automatically go into our Indie Oklahoma collection and can be read by anyone with a library card. The book then goes on to be reviewed by Library Journal, yes that Library Journal, and could be included in the LJ Select collection. If Library Journal selects a work for LJ Select inclusion, the book will be placed in Biblioboard libraries across the US and Canada.

Thank you to everyone for your input on board book call numbers. When we began cataloging all uncataloged materials, board books were moved into the easy picture section. This created some problems in shelving and finding these books in that collection. When the libraries were asked if it would be helpful for the board books to have a call number of Board instead of Easy so they could be shelved separately from the picture books, the response was overwhelmingly positive.

The Washington Information Directory is the essential one-stop source for information on U.S. governmental and nongovernmental agencies and organizations. This thoroughly researched guide provides capsule descriptions that help users quickly and easily find the right person at the right organization. The Washington Information Directory offers three easy ways to find information: by name, by organization, and through detailed subject indexes. The volume is topically organized, and within the taxonomic structure the relevant organizations are listed not only with contact information but with a brief paragraph describing what the organization (whether government or non-governmental) does related to that topic.

The first group of cataloged mass market paperbacks are in processing and will be delivered to libraries shortly, if not already. The first batches consist mostly of Harlequin titles and board books. The cataloged titles are eligible for holds.
No new “uncataloged” mass market paperbacks are being added to collections.
