Greetings!
Did you know that Cassidy Cataloguing Services is turning 25 years old this
year?!
In 1985, Cassidy
Cataloguing Services had two employees, Joni
Cassidy, its Founder and President, and one part-time
clerk-typist. Catalog card sets were typed on an electronic
typewriter. That's an electric typewriter with a small memory. Cards, pockets and spine labels were typed onsite on a Selectric
typewriter. Joni was the staff Cataloger for New York County Lawyers
Association (the downtown bar association), and a contract cataloger
for two law firms and a corporate legal department.
One of Cassidy Cataloguing's 1985 clients, the law
firm of Windels Marx Davies and Ives is still a client today as Windels Marx
Lane & Mittendorf LLP. The same terrific Law Librarian, Joel
Solomon, is still there.
Joni
and Michael Cassidy
were living in Astoria, Queens until October 1985 when they bought a
house in Scotch-Irish Kearny, NJ, famous for its
fish-and-chips. At the end of every work-week, Paula, Joni and
Michael planned to meet for "Spontaneous Friday."
Paula Perry, Senior Metadata Quality Control Supervisor, was working as the Technical Services
Librarian at the Wall Street law firm of Davis Polk & Wardwell. One of her responsibilities was the care and feeding of all the computer
equipment in the library, plus the dedicated Lexis UBIQ terminals or Westlaw
WALT terminals that sat on the lawyers' desks. The most common
solution when they stopped working was to ask if the lawyer or the
cleaning people had kicked the plug out of the wall!
Susan
Summers, Customer Success Supervisor for Electronic Products, was in her first year of graduate
school at the University of Illinois, studying lighting design for
theatre. Who would have ever guessed that after completing her Master's
degree and then teaching for several years, she would ultimately end up
at Cassidy for the past 15 years! (She still dabbles in theatre, designing lighting for
one or two productions yearly!)
Donna Rosinski-Kauz, Senior Metadata Specialist and Software Training Specialist, was in college, studying anthropology and
psychology, and
working as a page and interlibrary loan clerk in the Hillman Library at
the University of Pittsburgh.
Qing Fan, Senior Metadata Specialist, was living in China at Hefei United
University, studying library
and information science.
Edward Graham, Customer Success Supervisor for Onsite Projects & Copyright
Issues Specialist, was attending Suffolk County Community College on Long Island. The goal at the time was to get an Associate's Degree and use it as a stepping stone to gain admission to SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music.
Natalie Bejarano, Chief Marketing Officer and Projects Coordinator, was in 1st grade at Mansfield Elementary School, Mansfield, NJ.
Jennifer Lisman, Metadata Specialist, was 13 and trudging into 7th grade.
Megan Babbitt, Facilities Manager, was not yet born!
Come visit us at the SEAALL 2010 Annual Meeting in Williamsburg, Virginia, April 21-24, for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card to celebrate our 25th Anniversary!
Best regards,
The Crew at Cassidy Cataloguing

Each month we would like to showcase an interesting law library related article found online. Last month we found a Law librarian who makes a legal fashion statement in Fayette.
This month we bring you via the New York Times: "The oldest item in Yale Law School's rare book collection is a 1,000-year-old fragment of a
medieval manuscript bound inside an Italian guidebook for notaries. The
newest is a bobblehead doll depicting William H. Rehnquist, 16th chief justice of the United States." Read more...
(As an aside, Cassidy Cataloguing contacted the Lillian Goldman Law Library to offer our Supreme Court Justice cut-out dolls to their collection, but, of course, the dolls were already in their collection!)
