Whatever other outcomes there may be, I hope there will be a strong
recommendation that imparting basic cataloguing skills return to the
ALA accreditation standards for library schools.
Being a librarian requires a skill set.
Those skills are needed by public service as well as technical service
librarians, and many who plan to become reference librarians wind up
doing some cataloguing, based on Autocat questions from those poor
lost souls. I don't blame them; I blame their library schools.
