libraryjournal: From LJ News Editor Meredith Schwartz, an article about cake pan collection development: As with any acquisition, library staff had to get the pans ready for circulation in time for the June 2 launch. They’re stored in hanging bags like kits, but have their numbers etched directly into the metal of the pans. “When we floated the idea, the catalogers were giddy. They said, ‘How do we categorize them? Is it a ring or is it a bundt?’ That’s cataloger humor for you,” Thornley said.
