That is a great idea if there are Hebrew catalogers whose institutions really don't have things to do.I am working in tandem with my unit on a variety of different projects, some Hebrew dependent, some different projects that have been sitting around that
we now are able to tackle because of a lack of print resources.</div>

At the present time I have more than enough to keep me busy but perhaps there are others who would jump at the opportunity. I do suspect that managers' will need to be involved in these explorations.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi everybody,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope you are well and keeping safe and isolated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of my big projects at work has been generating tasks for teleworkers, particularly for catalogers that are print-dependent and new to remote work, and now find themselves almost idle. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a proposal: can we find things we could invest time in, as a group? If nothing else, I would like to start this discussion.</div>
