Greetings, all. I'm a library cataloger (we use Polaris) in a medium
size town and our catalog
is fairly large. A couple days ago, I posted a question regarding MARC
field 010, and as of
yet, I've not seen any replies. In fact, I've not seen replies to most
posts in this group.
So, is this the right group for my questions? (Please be gentle, I
haven't used groups or chats
until now) Thanks in advance for any replies.
 Mark Goodall,

As a librarian, I think you will be able to make use of this group in a
more effective way than I can.

Note its name: "bit.listserv.autocat". I think this means that there is
a *mailing list* called autocat, the articles in which are echoed to
this USENET group. The people on the list only read the list, _not_ the
newsgroup, which additionally has items posted directly to it - which
include some junk and spam.

So, as a librarian, you should be able to join the mailing list, of
which this group is the echo.
