Steven Pisani
Assistant Director, Cataloging
What I do at The New York Public Library
I direct the Cataloging Department of BookOps, the shared technical services collaboration of New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library, which includes the cataloging operations for the Research Collections of NYPL as well as the circulating collections of the NYPL branches and the branch collections of Brooklyn Public Library. The department has 45 FT staff across four teams.
Who am I?
Prior to joining NYPL and BookOps in 2017, I was Head of Cataloging & Interlibrary Loan Services for the Westchester Library System, a consortium of 38 member public libraries in Westchester County, NY. I was previously a cataloger for the Bibliomation consortium in Connecticut which utilizes the Evergreen open source ILS.
