There's a lot of that in cataloging, due to inertia but also lack of staffing to make revisions to non-public facing codes or captions. In LC's Class Web, there's still many old (no longer valid) classification numbers that still have old terminology as the main display caption. Here's an example.

Many such cases (for example, "gb" for Kiribati, "uv" for Burkina Faso). They don't think it's a priority to update codes the public doesn't see.

One of the cats in my feral colony is healing from an abscess in her paw pad and I'm selling this "All Cats Are Beautiful" sticker I designed to help with paying for her treatment.

Also a good time for libraries to rethink paying vast sums for unreliable library software from companies like Ex Libris Group owned by Clarivate. There are other ways to run our libraries.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Members of the zine librarian community would be interested in hearing more details if there's a chance we could support your friend, either financially or by being vocal.

In typical librarian fashion, we have bent over backwards to make things as easy as possible for our users, and hidden the labour involved in doing so, and now it'll bite us, and our users, in the arse. 4/

The administration at the Library of Congress. In this case, the folks who head Library Collections.

Ah that's kind of you, thanks. Occasionally I remember to stop muttering to myself at my desk and skeet through it instead.
