Newly received books always show in the catalogue the day after they’ve been unpacked (and can be requested via the Reading Room), which allows the Slavonic team to manage a deliberate cataloguing backlog before final records are produced.  This allows time for cataloguers elsewhere, particularly in North American libraries, to produce good-quality records that we can import and use.  Today, for example, I catalogued and classified 13 Ukrainian arrivals from the summer, largely published in 2023, that I could now use external records for, allowing far quicker processing than what we call “original cataloguing” (ie cataloguing from scratch).  Images of the front covers of these titles, which cover history, politics, fiction (including a title about the terrible events in Bucha in 2022), architecture, culture, philosophy, film, and language studies, are provided in the post, followed by links to their records.

Do note that the improved versions of the records will only appear in iDiscover later tomorrow, 22/10/23.
