ABSTRACT
Having both been born in the very early years of the infamous baby boom, we have seen school libraries during the last quarter century from the varied perspectives of high school and undergraduate library patrons, of MLS students learning the mysteries of cataloging and other aspects of librarianship, of new graduates working with older colleagues whose ways did not always coincide with our own “newfangled” methods, and, more recently, as veterans of the high school library trenches who have ourselves had to cope with changes in the way libraries do things. The major changes in technical services can perhaps be grouped (and it is impossible to stop catalogers from grouping things!) under: (1) new rules and practices, (2) new types of materials to be handled, and (3) new types of equipment used to facilitate work in this area.
