While you are aware that procrastination could be bad for you, here you are, trying to buy yourself a few more minutes or hours or even days, to have an excuse to delay. There’s a wealth of adage about how important time is – from “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” to “the early bird catches the worm,” and “tomorrow is the busiest time of the week.” We often find
and cherish their time with their families because one day, the family members will not be there anymore.

Upon reading the first three chapters of the book, Catalog It! by Allison G. Kaplan, the evolution of the cataloging process was completely astounding to me. I had always assumed that the cataloging process was fairly straightforward; involving organization by genre and then by alphabetization according to the author’s last name. Therefore, it was fascinating to discover that the process of cataloging text could be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia when the people of the city of Ur organized
