This case study reveals how the technical services department at a public library reconfigured its workflow to meet the demands of a backlog in cataloging work caused by staffing shortages. One initiative involved the gradual replacement of the OCLC Connexion Client macros with MarcEdit tasks to batch edit OCLC records. Training new hires with no cataloging experience presented an opportunity to change the tools and technology used in the department. Catalogers experimented with a copy cataloging workflow that relies on searching and exporting records from the OCLC WorldShare Record Manager instead of Connexion. These initiatives proved fruitful in managing the cataloging workflow.
