Thank you to those who responded to the March conundrum.
Here is the April conundrum:
My library has been given a collection of materials in languages that we don't usually collect: Russian (Cyrillic), Gujarati, and Thai. I have been tasked with cataloging them and making them a part of the collection, but there is no one in the library who can read these languages. The person who gave them to us is unable to help. I don't have a budget for hiring any language experts or for outsourcing the cataloging. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can get these cataloged?
Please respond to this post if you have any ideas for this librarian.
If you have a conundrum that you are trying to solve, send a note to me at rbuser@cscc.edu.
Thank you,
