We understand that successful projects depend in great part to assigning skilled staff to your project. Since 1986, our “Pros from Dover” staff of experienced professionals has provided each client a high quality of work delivered on schedule, on budget, and in strict accordance with a customized project profile that LAC provides each client as a means to describe their projects in detail.

We’ve assembled a team of catalogers and other library specialists to help LAC to evaluate and analyze your project profile. This analysis allows LAC to focus its expertise, knowledge, and resources to complete your project in an efficient, orderly, and effective manner. This allows LAC to direct insightful ideas, ways and means, and resources toward applying a project methodology tailored to your specific needs. It’s an example of how LAC delivers the assistance you need when time and money is of the essence.

Our team of catalogers has extensive knowledge of MARC formats, AACR2rev, Library of Congress Authority Files, Library of Congress, Dewey, and NLM classification systems, Dublin Core, and other national standards and protocols, as well as anticipated major changes in cataloging rules such as Resource Description Access (RDA).

In addition, our staff is trained in the use of a wide variety of Integrated Library Systems and online cataloging tools such as ClassWeb and The Catalogers Desktop. We are also equipped with the latest models of computers, printers, and scanners. This experience allows us to work smarter and faster in order to bring your project to a successful and satisfactory conclusion.

For all our projects, we assign a senior librarian as a single point of contact to monitor, guide and expedite your project. This contact is available to respond to your project related questions, issues, and concerns as they arise. We guarantee the accuracy of our work and compliance with the specifications and standards as outlined in your unique cataloging profile. This individual attention to the details of your project enables us to maintain or exceed production goals and to meet critical project milestones and deadlines.

If this sounds good to you, contact us to harness LAC’s in-depth knowledge, insights, commitment, and innovation.
