As previously stated, I'm knee deep, happily so, in a donation of books on graphic design. It has been very interesting to check the titles in the library catalog database to see if the title is owned, and if so, is our copy still available or AWOL, or a high demand title that could use a 2nd copy.
Given the titles of the books, and the spelling of the title, I've often been resigned to searching by isbn when title searches don't work as I think they should. For example, the book Cool Type Two spells the title as CoolType2wo on the title page. Clever, of course, but the library catalog doesn't recognize it, even though we own it! Without the CIP info, I would have been awash in bibliographic confusion.
Many, many thanks to the catalogers who create CIP info!!! And to my fine coworkers in Tech and Access Services here in King Library that will be adding titles from this gift collection to our shelves!
