Hmmmmm, I think I touched something odd and that is why history of Africa is highlighted on the 4th image.

Oh, on my iPad, a slight touch will highlight two in the same subsection.

Sorry.

The display can be manipulated to try different plausible combinations.

It’s very handy and useful. It’s also fun to play with.

Not every specific title can be found in the website, but if you are looking for something, check for a related title or it’s subject.

The last portion of the display of Librarything’s MDS of Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods

The last image is the rest of the most typical cataloging for Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods.

Then with librarything, they have a nifty MDS display gizmo.

Have you taken a look at Worldcat and Librarything.com?

With worldcat.org I can look at how systems around mine catalog theirs, until it becomes temperamental, i.e quits displaying the other libraries, some glitch.

On this day where librarians consider the closing of Baker & Taylor, I would like to remind you that Sandy Berman still walks this earth and today is his birthday.

Baker & Taylor appears to be shutting down. A post on the r/libraries subreddit from an employee of B&T breaks the news and there appear to be other employees in the comments confirming the situation.

That would explain why the October Lease titles haven't been posted.

Yeah, ReaderLink called off the acquisition and that was pretty much their last hope of pulling out of the spiral. Word on the wires is that B&T is drowning in debt.

If I understand it correctly, ReaderLink was supposed to acquire the business and some of the employees while all the debt/obligations remained with an independent entity, which...didn't make a ton of sense.

Has there been confirmation on this?

"Baker & Taylor will be closing their business, after a planned acquisition of their assets by Readerlink fell through last month. Operations will cease by January 1, according to online posts from former employees. Employees were informed yesterday that their positions will be eliminated. A local newspaper in Illinois reports that 253 of the 318 staffers at the 379,000-square-foot distribution center in Momence were let go immediately, as 62 others will stay on to assist with "wind[ing] down" the business until late December, with the last three employees departing January 3. A report from Illinois' Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act explained that the closure is due to the termination of the Readerlink sale, which "would have resulted in the continuing employment of all Baker & Taylor employees." "Despite Baker & Taylor’s subsequent efforts, it was unsuccessful in seeking a path to continue its business operations," the report continues. B&T was the largest supplier of materials to libraries, and B&T Publisher Services distributes books from more than 250 small presses. Small publishers are particularly in need of distribution services after the closure of Small Press Distribution. B&T did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company is headquartered in Charlotte, NC."

A depressing update we've seen coming for a long time, with numerous impacts. Namely, even less competition for library acquisitions and wholesale, publishers (including Hub City) left with unpaid bills, and small presses left high and dry, and vanishing distribution options.

Baker & Taylor folks, I am so, so sorry. This is terrible news.

MICHIEL COXCIE (1499-1592), CARTOONIST; WILLEM DE PANNEMAKER (ACTIVE 1535-1578), WEAVER Noah Builds the Ark "Story of Noah' series Brussels-Brabant, 1563-1566 Tapestry; gold, silver, silk and wool In 1556, Philip II acquired a set of tapestries that told the story of Noah. However, in 1559 the ship carrying them to Spain sank and only two hangings were saved, so the king ordered another set in 1562. It originally consisted of ten tapestries, only three of which are still extant: one shows God commanding Noah to build the ark, another depicts the disembarkation after the flood, and the third is this scene, where the biblical patriarch is giving his sons instructions on how to build the ark. For the borders, Philip II chose his coats of arms and a few animals alluding to the four elements silhouetted against a landscape in the background, whose painstaking details must have posed quite a technical challenge. This tapestry arrived in Madrid in 1566 and was displayed in emblematic settings like the Monastery of El Escorial.

Fragment of mosaic with geometric border and animal central subject, hanging on a wall near a label Museum label reads CHERHILL ROMAN MOSAIC the panel shows a hunting dog bounding past a leafy tree, evidently in pursuit of a stag or hind. The subject matter and style of the mosaic are so similar to the Christian mosaics from Hinton tSt.Maryand Frampton in Dorset,that they may all have been the work of the same mosaic craftsmen, perhaps based in or near Dorchester around the 4th Century AD.

Spotted last week in my travels into the southwest. Originally covering a 2 chambered room in a 4thC building, this hunting dog fragment now lives in the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes.
