In the March 2015 Enews from the American Numismatic Society, a new hire for the ANS library was announced. -Editor
We are pleased to announce the hiring of James Woodstock as a part-time cataloguer in the Society’s Harry W. Bass Jr. Library. James
brings with him years of library experience, including five as a cataloguer at Touro College Law Center in New York City. He also currently
holds a position as an adjunct cataloguer at the Academy of Jewish Religion in Yonkers. In addition, James has a reading knowledge of
Western European, Slavic, and some Asian languages, and a bibliographic reading proficiency in Hebrew, Arabic and Greek, skills that are
sure to come in handy when processing the multilingual collections of the ANS.
Library cataloguers have a hugely important and often underappreciated task. Without their long and hard efforts, researchers would have
a hard time even learning what resources are available to them, let alone finding and accessing them. Congratulations to James and the
ANS. We'll keep an eye on the ever-expanding catalog of the Harry W. Bass Jr. Library. -Editor
