Content continues to be ported to the CARLI site from the websites of the three consortia that merged to become CARLI. Of particular interest to this forum, the task to revise (as necessary) and port the “Selected Cataloging Documents” from the ILCSO website to CARLI site continues. ICAT team members have been assisting CARLI Office staff in this monumental task. Please visit the URL below and watch our progress:
