Hi, everyone: I'm looking forward to meeting you at our first round of New Cataloger Camp meetings in February. Be sure to register to get the calendar invites and Zoom links. * The learning group meeting is Feb. 4 at 11:00 am. Register<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/9aRQbRMORWuTximfflsIVw>. * The peer group discussion is Feb. 18 at 9:00 am. Register<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/90dvyuSzQLmpDuG6_CRWpw>. In preparation for the learning group meeting, please take a few minutes to review the Course Outline & Syllabus<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F7oyhgU2xs6KwehN_B06oaQg6qK….0>, specifically the sections titled Course Overview and February 2026: Foundational Concepts. The document is located in our shared Google Folder<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/160jLyX9yf7x8KX9oDc-ORMEoL…nk>, which I recommend that you bookmark. Additionally, here are some FAQs that may help you out: * Will these meetings be recorded? Yes! All meetings will be recorded and available in our shared Google Folder. * Do I need to be "excused" from meetings that I miss? No. This is not a traditional class, and I am not taking attendance. This experience is purely for your own edification and camaraderie with other catalogers. If you need to miss a meeting, just miss it and try to watch the recording afterwards. * Do I need to watch/read all the recommended content each month? No. Again, this is not a traditional class, so just complete what makes sense for your unique learning goals. * Should I keep my camera on during meetings? Ideally, I would love your camera to be on for the peer group discussions. I have found from experience that discussions are livelier and more engaging when people can see one another. But I understand that it's not always possible to be on camera, so I leave it to your judgement. Please reach out if you have any other questions. Otherwise, I will see you next week.
