Library Words and Terms
Like any specialty, there are numerous words and terms that are used in libraries. Often those involved with a specialty, whether it be baking or brain surgery, are so familiar with their specialized terminology that they take it for granted that others know those words. Currently, library words and terms mingle with words from and about computers.

For words and terms pertaining to libraries, see: ODLIS: Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science by Joan M. Reitz, Associate Librarian for Instruction at the Ruth A. Haas Library, Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) in Danbury, CT.
