T r a c y Assistant Librarian fo r Technical Services Eastern W ashington University A cataloger’s adventures in Australia. M y six-month exchange in 1986 at the C entral L ibrary of the University of Queensland resulted from inquiries to Australian libraries th a t had been listed in C& RL News as potential exchange institu­ tions. Because of my adm inistrative responsibili­ ties, I could not offer an exchange of positions, bu t I was willing to work in any professional capacity in technical services. In tu rn , the Eastern W ashing­ ton University L ibrary would offer a position in technical services w ith an emphasis on cataloging. My inquiries elicited a reply from the deputy li­ brarian at the University of Queensland, who indi­ cated th a t G illian M eteyard, a cataloger at the C entral L ibrary, was interested in an exchange. After the exchange was approved, Gillian and I then corresponded to arrange a swap of our homes and the use of our cars for April through September 1986. T h e te c h n ic a l services sta ff of a b o u t 60 in Q ueensland’s C entral L ibrary performs the fam il­ iar tasks of ordering, cataloging and processing li­ brary m aterials. The large staff, in contrast to simi­ lar libraries in the United States, is a result of the policy of hiring full-tim e employees to do much of the work th a t is perform ed by part-tim e student as­ sistants in American academic libraries. The catalogers are organized into teams, w ith each group responsible for several subject areas so th a t the workload is equitably distributed. I was a m em ber of the “P urple” team th a t processed all m aterials for the Q–QE, HA–HG, and PC class num bers of the L ibrary of Congress schedule. The team included two librarians and tw o library assis­ tants. The group processed all orders and cataloged all m aterials, including serials, government docu­ ments and audiovisual items (the latter from surro­ gates prepared by other staff). However, I cata­ loged only monographs. The use of AACR2 and the L ibrary of Congress classification and subject headings m ade it rela­ tively easy for me to jum p right in and make myself useful. However, it took me a while to learn local practice, including such m inor details as entering a date in the Australian p attern w ith the day first, and w riting the LC call num ber in a different for­ m at. The team leader, the tw o library assistants, and everyone in the cataloging area were forgiving of my errors and always ready to answer my ques­ tions. W hen I first began work th a t April, cataloging was obtained from the A ustralian N ational L i­ brary (ANL) by m atching search keys: ISBN, LC card num ber, author and title. However, a few m onths later the cataloging teams began to access
