Amigos Offers Custom Cataloging Service

Do you have 12 theses sitting on a back shelf waiting for original cataloging? How about that donation of genealogy titles? Is there a backlog of maps that would be a great addition to your collection?

Your hidden collections are unique in value, both locally to the community you serve and globally to library patrons around the world. Let Amigos help with those backlogs, special projects, and collections with cataloging needs that cannot be met by current staffing or expertise levels.

No project is too small. Whether you have one or a thousand items, monographs, maps, or audiovisual materials, in English or other European languages, Amigos provides quality cataloging performed by library professionals. Cataloging is performed using OCLC’s Connexion with a number of options for MARC record delivery.

Amigos Custom Cataloging can also assist in metadata creation for digital projects. We use your authorized headings and chosen taxonomy to create records in EAD, Dublin Core, or MODS, making digital items and collections accessible and thus more valuable to users. We can also troubleshoot stylesheet transformations to HTML.
