The anticipatory obedience continues. The lists to change Lake Ontario to Lake America were both just published (subjects: classweb.org/tentative-su... and classification: classweb.org/tentative/26...) with a note it's not open for public comment. #critcat #lcsh

Good to know! And I'd prefer teal so I will delete this and wait for the restocked selection!

I don't have a link yet (that's why I posted) because I'm not positive if I was first (I think we posted the same time)

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Should also say, I can easily wait until you get more in stock (I'm in no rush)

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

I will also say (if I was first) since I've bought quite a few earrings and you can reorder, I am happy to wait and give it to the next person in line since the opals are quite popular.

I just amazingly won a moss agate necklace and these will go perfect with it so I'm happy to have them and now might be in jewelry jail.

Me! If no one else has claimed them.

It's fine! I figured there might have been some confusion. I just wanted to add everything to my cart (but I plan on waiting to check out until the end of QVC since earrings are definitely my weakness).

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

and it appears someone else checked out with this set...

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Honestly, I don't know. You can see archived titles by publisher (the previously on NetGalley option) but that's not going to help pull the list you want. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

100

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

It does not have all the YA books (I just checked Queen of faces, and it's not in the list and when I search by title it says this book is archived). So, I don't know how to pull the list you want, sorry.

100

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I think they archive them; that's honestly the only way I know how to do it in Netgalley. When I go to the last page, it lists a book published in 2014 as the last title but I don't know if that's really every YA & teen title.

If you click the see all (next to the books), that should open the next screen which will allow you to sort by publication date.

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Huh, I have see all books in the top right. When I click that I can then sort by publication date.

Netgalley, option to see all books in the top right corner.)

I can see it if I click under category: teens and YA (side menu). Then see all books and there's a drop down menu where you can sort by publication date.

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Me! (Unless someone else grabbed it)

I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with her loved ones and everyone she touched throughout her life.

But I've cataloged less than 5 tarot decks total so I don't have much practical experience.

000

Allison @readaway.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

I've done different approaches depending on what's included (though I haven't cataloged many). Either two-dimensional graphic or kit are my preference. If it's a box with booklet/guide, I do kit. If it's cards only, I've done graphic.

You might want to email the Occult/Esoteric SACO Funnel and see if they have any guidance.

Thanks to all of the excellent members of the working groups; we put together some good arguments and resources on the importance of cataloging and metadata work!!

We're really hoping to provide information for small libraries and public libraries and are hoping to also help with advocating for changes on vendor provided metadata

We're still looking for volunteers for a working group on local authorities to address the recent #LCSH changes to Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali. The working group aims to provide guidance on how libraries can either change their subject display or create local authorities #critcat

Here’s an explainer re possible impacts to the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS). It “enumerates which programs are "shall" programs and duties, meaning that they are mandated by Congress, and which programs are "may" programs, meaning that they are discretionary for IMLS”
