Making Sense of the Liahonas

This week, I started working through the two boxes that contained a number of Liahona periodicals. The majority of the twenty-two bound texts ranged between 1945 and 1955, so, when it came time to start cataloging them, I had to get a refresher on how to create Local Holding Records for serials. However, before I could get to cataloging, I had to separate the Liahonas into different groupings to make the different LHR copies, and putting similar copies into the same copy groupings, To my surprise, this took a little longer to do than I had initially anticipated. Once I separated them out, it was a relatively easy, if not long, process to enter their information into the OCLC records.

Sorry it’s a shorter post this week, but I’m glad I was able to eventually finish this up! Next week, I’ll be finishing up some miscellaneous monographs that were left over before moving onto the box of A/V materials.

Until next time!
