Colleagues:

    I am pleased to report that 2008 Issue 1 of Cataloger's Desktop 
is now online.  There are comparatively few updates, though a number 
of fixes and minor enhancements have been implemented.  One subtle 
change is that Thesaurus for Graphic Materials is now being generated 
directly from the LC website and is fully current.  This resource 
will now be updated monthly.  The issue also adds the BISAC Subject 
Headings list as a searchable resource.

    As is always the case with new issues, we're still tracking down 
the little bugs that have cropped up.  Please let us know if you spot 
any gremlins and we will be glad to investigate.

    Thank you very much for your continued support.

Bruce
