Library Cataloging
You have to wonder where the priorities of our elected representatives are. Here in Texas there is no money in the budget to continue a school union catalog that provided copy cataloging and ILL for the entire state. It was also a carrot held out to districts to meet minimum standards. Now the carrot is gone and there is nothing to stop school libraries in Texas from dropping even lower against the national average. However, there is money to call special sessions to gerrymander congressional districts.Now I see from Florida that the educational network for connection to the net was given to a campaign manager of the governor and now they have lost the federal funds to keep it operational.
