Cataloging Electronic Resources
Within the last few years, electronic resources have
become a prominent, if not the most dominant, means of
discovery and research for users of all types of libraries.
Although much of the electronic content for which libraries
provide access is in the form of electronic journals, there is
a growing proliferation of databases and indexes that lead
users directly to full-text content, both serial and monographic.
The variety of electronic resources and means of accessing
them has led to discussions regarding cataloging and online
resource management. Workflow and concomitant staffing
issues have also become prevalent in the literature as libraries
adjust to the realities of acquiring and processing these non-
print materials. Electronic resources have challenged the
principles and practices of cataloging over the last several
years. The complex nature of cataloging and the changes
necessitated by electronic resources have led to the need for
guides to explain the rules in what may be perceived as more
“practical” terms.

Fundamental competencies for
Special Collections Professionals
Today's special collections environments are increasingly diverse. They vary significantly with regard to institutional setting, nature of collections, scope of functions and services, and audience. A special collections professional may experience much of this variety over the course of his/her career, taking on different public and technical service duties, curatorial functions, and management responsibilities. Even those who remain focused on a single functional specialty within one institution will best contribute to that institution's vitality and success by developing broad awareness of the full
array of responsibilities that define the field as a whole. We assume a professional who gradually achieves such general proficiency over the course of his/her career; full mastery in all areas, however, is by no means expected.

A man stepped onto the overnight train and told the conductor, “I need you to wake me up in Philadelphia. I'm a deep sleeper and can be angry when I get up, but no matter what, I want you to help me make that stop. Here's $100 to make sure".
The conductor agreed. The man fell asleep, and when he awoke he heard the announcement that the train was approaching New York, which meant they had passed Philadelphia a long time ago. Furious, he ran to the conductor. “I gave you $100 to make sure I got off in Philadelphia, you idiot!" “Wow," another passenger said to his traveling companion. “Is that guy mad!" “Yeah," his companion replied. “But not half as mad as that guy they forced off the train in Philadelphia."

The Office of Weights and Measures
The Office of Weights and Measures promotes uniformity in U.S. weights and measures laws, regulations, and standards to achieve equity between buyers and sellers in the marketplace. This enhances consumer confidence, enables U.S. businesses to compete fairly at home and abroad, and strengthens the U.S. economy.
OWM partners with the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM), an organization of State and local weights and measures officials and representatives of business, industry, consumer groups, and Federal agencies, to develop U.S. standards in the form of uniform laws, regulations, and methods of practice. OWM serves as the U.S. representative to the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) to bring efficiency and cost savings to U.S. manufacturers and other stakeholders doing business overseas, through the promotion of harmonized international standards and regulatory practices.
OWM ensures traceability of state weights and measures standards to the International System of Units (SI); develops procedures for legal metrology tests and inspections, and conducts training for laboratory metrologists and weights and measures officials. OWM provides guidance on the model weights and measures laws and regulations adopted by the NCWM and coordinates the development and publication of key NCWM publications.
It is estimated that sales of products or services impacted by weights and measures laws in the United States represent approximately 50 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. Industry sectors potentially affected by the decisions of the NCWM include retail food sales, other retail sales, petroleum products, transportation, and chemicals.
The NIST Office of Weights and Measures analyzes weights and measures training needs, obtains input from the weights and measures community, designs and delivers training for laboratory metrologists and weights and measures officials, measures the impact and effectiveness of training to ensure ongoing continual improvement, and consults with the weights and measures community to ensure ongoing professional development.
