    I noted that this project is an attempt to improve customer service. What were the specific problems that lead to the decision that it was the cataloging system that causing confusion? I’m all for creating libraries that are more accessible to patrons. What are the training issues that you anticipate for newly hired librarians coming to work for you? Especially the catalogers that have a whole new taxonomy to learn.
