We were very excited to learn that an A-Z Title list has recently been added to Wolters Kluwer's IntelliConnect database! We did want to give you a tip while searching... if you don't find the title you are looking for while browsing in the A-Z list, be sure that there is no initial article "THE". In some cases, they don't appear to have been indexed with the initial article removed. (Or you can just search using the IntelliConnect catalog records from within your catalog!)
Just an example:

1,775 full MARC21 catalog records for only $1,079.00? What about $225.00?
It is possible - just by saying "yes"!
W.S. Hein is offering a complimentary subscription of World Constitutions Illustrated to all subscribers of their Core collection for as long as the Core subscription is maintained. Cassidy Cataloguing has partnered with W.S. Hein to create full-MARC21 catalog records which will match these titles!
Cataloging has already begun on these MARC21 catalog records, which follow Provider-Neutral guidelines. The records are being created for the Constitutions and Books as well as all the websites and other electronic resources such as "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices" and "Background Notes".
The pricing model for this collection will follow a structure that is based upon the volume of interest in the set, a model that is very similar to our Pioneer Program for the original WestLex. If only 101 libraries say "yes" to having these catalog records, the price for 1,775 records will only be $1,079.00! (That's about $.60 per record!) If all 600 libraries say "yes" the price drops to only $225.00 per library!
We thank all of the libraries who have already contacted us to express interest and assure you that you are counted in the final headcount!
We will begin the pricing structure by asking that initial subscribers declare themselves in order to aid in a headcount. Initial subscribers would then be invoiced according to the schedule below and will be offered premiums that those who had not subscribed to the pioneer project will not be offered. These premiums may include free updates and discounts on future collections added to World Constitution Illustrated.

More information will be delivered shortly on this collection.

Cassidy Cataloguing's president, Joni Cassidy, has been teaching Cataloging and Introductory Technical Services in New York metro-area library schools for many years. In that capacity, she and the professional staff of Cassidy Cataloguing have had the opportunity to inspire several graduate students to pursue a career in Technical Services. We believe it is one of the things that sets us apart from any other catalog-record provider.
Mark Sandford
 Mark first met Joni
when he took Introduction to Cataloging with her at Long
Island University's Palmer School of Library and Information Science. By the end of the course, Joni had derailed
Mark's plans to specialize in public librarianship, and he instead focused on
Technical Services and Cataloging.
Joni took Mark on as an intern at the end of his Masters
program. At Cassidy Cataloguing, Mark
expanded his knowledge of cataloging beyond print materials when he worked with
Joni on a pro bono project cataloging videos at the Ziccolella
Elementary-Middle School in Hastings On Hudson, New York. He also cataloged legal websites for
CassidyCat's Digital Law Library.
Mark credits his internship for helping him get his first
position as a part-time media cataloger at a public library, as well as for his
current position at the William Paterson University of New Jersey. The skills he learned from Joni and the
excellent Cassidy Cataloguing staff made him a perfect fit as their Special
Formats Cataloger.
Since
then, Mark has worked with Joni co-teaching courses at Kean University and
Queens College, as well as workshops for the Connecticut Library Consortium.
