Library duplication is rampant in the cataloging of popular materials, materials held by multiple institutions. Most libraries have unique materials, special collections, hidden gems that staff just don't have time to catalog. What if we targeted our resources to bring these collections to light? What if we utilized our professional staff to catalog original items in our unique collections in order to provide access to the special while outsourcing the common?
