Cataloging Futures: change of focus a misstep

Back in January (almost five months ago) I thought I was going to take this blog in a new direction. But, you know what, I made a mistake.

So, I'm back to the original focus of this blog and hopefully can make a worthy contribution to the ongoing discussion.

Now time to catch up.....
