Anne Welsh is a career-long cataloguer and a life-long writer. Following the success of Practical Cataloguing (London: Facet; Chicago: Neal Schuman, 2012) she focused on academic research and teaching before founding Beginning Cataloguing, which provides consultancy and training for institutions and, increasingly, to individuals preparing their libraries and archives and seeking an institutional home for them.
