Bio:
Over the course of her library career, Karen Selden became interested in the technical aspects of cataloging a library collection. Since joining the University of Colorado in 1998, she has specialized in cataloging Internet resources, and assisted our library in the development of cataloging techniques for these items that are nationally recognized and emulated. Ms. Selden continues to refine these procedures, and has made her peers more aware of our library's work by making presentations to national and regional law library organizations and by publishing articles in library journals.
