At the same time, Sercat holds on to the values that have contributed and continue to contribute to the success of the MIT Libraries. Our staff continues to produce high quality bibliographic metadata for MIT's catalog, as well as providing bibliographic expertise to divisional libraries on cataloging and collections-related problems large and small. As a member in good standing with CONSER, the national cooperative serials cataloging program, Sercat both contributes to and derives the benefit from a nationwide field of high-quality bibliographic data. In addition to our efforts to catalog active titles of current interest, Sercat is engaged in a project to retrospective catalog a large and heretofore hidden collection of older serials and journals that were collected by the Institute up to the middle of the 20th century.

Welcome to the Sercat wiki.

Here you will find documents of interest to MIT serials catalogers, as well as those who interact with Sercat. Feel free to explore our section through the map-view, or through a list of current project and processes. Like all wikis, this place is designed to change, so come back, or leave a comment or question of your own.
