DDK5, AACR2 and NORMARC



Dewey Decimal Classification 5 (Norwegian edition), Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 2 (Norwegian version) and NORMARC (format for exchanging machine readable bibliographic data ) have become my daily helpers in a world where specialized and professional books need to be classified and catalogued in the bibliographic database Mikromarc.

Sounding all boring? As a matter of fact, I find it highly interesting and, even better, an excellent way of practicing my acquired professional skills as a librarian. My job is both challenging and rewarding, and getting all this positive feedback on my work, I'm walking around as if I were a big, bright, shining sun. (And this in spite of having been totally out of luck in the wine-lottery!) Now, how much better could a job get?

With this, I'm encouraging my readers (assuming I still have any left...?) to tell me about their jobs.

  3. I work 3-4 days a week, as a clerk at the local Coop Prix. Can't complain really..Just the shortage of work hours maybe, but in a way i suits me at the moment. I've read lots of books, visited Bare Jazz:), been up late and just...been enjoying myself. If Dear Willow, I'm happy. What more could one wish?

    PS: Hvis du vi bli bedre kjent med undertegnede, så må du lese "Sola er en feit Gud" av John Ewo. Hovedpersonen der er..svært lik hovedpersonen i mitt liv.
