Joanna F. Fountain is assistant professor of library science at Sam Houston State University. During her career, which began as a library page at Syracuse University, she has worked in children s services and as a bookmobile librarian. She has completed a variety of cataloging projects and served Texas schools as liaison for the K 12 union catalog. Throughout her career, she has sought to combine her dual interests in Spanish and library science. Since she began full-time teaching, she has continued to conduct workshops and has been working on a bilingual subject heading list designed to increase access to library collections for Spanish speakers. Joanna is the author or editor of Subject Headings for School and Public Libraries (2001) and, with Elizabeth Haynes, Unlocking the Mysteries of Cataloging: A Workbook of Examples (2005). Joanna hopes that this edition of Cataloging Correctly for Kids will provide guidance for new librarians and updated information for those who catalog for young readers and researchers. See less
