Hmmm. Looks like I’ll have to do a little bit of clarification here. I saw a post that I had written put onto someone else’s blog. It was about cataloging some free books I’d received at the fall AASL conference. I’m guessing the person probably thought I meant I was cataloging ARC’s (Advanced Reading Copies.) No. That is a big no-no. I know that ARC’s should never be cataloged, and that they’re just for us librarians to get ideas for books to purchase in the future.
The free books were real books that book publishers were giving away for free. If you haven’t been to ALA or AASL, most of the vendors make a habit of giving out free books at a certain time on a certain day. You just have to be in the right place at the right time. Try it, you’ll like it.
