We had our first Flash-mob cataloging event yesterday. 8 Americorp volunteers were on hand over the course of the day. In 5 hours (40 man hours) they added over 600 new titles to the GLCC catalog. They worked their way through our fiction collection from A - L. On average they added about 15 new titles per hour. Not bad for a group of volunteers who had never used LT or had any other library experience.

One of the things they did was mark every book on LT. Many of the titles were already in our catalog but we didn't know until they were searched yesterday, Now all of our fiction books in the A - L range are marked with LT on the last page of each book.

Our next cataloging party is Nov 7th. I'll let you know how it turns out.
