And Missions plays out

What's up to bat now that the Missions titles are posted? There are plenty of Areas of Concentration left, so watch this space, and visit 'Too to see the latest Missions offerings....

More missions

Not quite played out, BHCTILibraryToo's Missions materials (Area of Concentration WMMIS) grew a bit today.

All is safely gathered in

Just in time for Thanksgiving, we've reached the 1,500 mark in BHCTILibraryToo, with a few dozen titles left in our "Area of Concentration" Missions (Worship and Missions "Subject Cluster," or WMMIS for short). Combined with the 2,500 titles gathered and tagged to BHCTI Subject Clusters and Areas of Concentration available at BHCTILibrary "Proper," we've hit (at long last) 4,000 readily accessable titles in the Google Book Libraries. Next numerical target will be 5K....

Looks good from a distance

Still climbing the hill on BHCTILibraryToo (Too for short), adding titles in our Area of Concentration Missions. Have a peak at the latest...

And a bit more, too

Our growing collection of free full text (i.e., full view) Google Books stowed at BHCTILibraryToo (Too for short) just got a little bit bigger today. Still soldiering on with the project...

Too long gone

...but I'm back in the saddle with some additions to Too under our Missions area of concentration (WMMIS). Documentation for accreditation has my focus, but I don't want to neglect our growing Google Book libraries...

Okay, 3.7K so far...

I'm still 300 titles short of the next mile marker in the combined GoogleBooks libraries, but as Tolkien famously said in the LOTR preface, I had "other duties I did not neglect." But we are still hacking away in Missions- you can see the results in 'Too to date.

Back on Mission

About 50 titles from the Missions area of concentration (Worship and Missions 'cluster') were added to BHCTILibraryToo today- the work is slow, but continues...

3.5K combined

The 3,500 reviewed mark was reached today in the combined BHCTILibrary collections; 2.5K remains in "Proper," and there are now 1.K in "Too." As previously noted, the "reviews"consist primarilly of OCLC data and LCCN placements; but the latter is important to SACS, and when coordinated with labeling (our existing 16 BHCTI subject areas and 4 subject "clusters," which all extant entries already enjoy- the LC class is being added to the labels as each are found), I think it gives a good indication why entries fit their subjects- that they are relevant for us. The bulk of "Too" items are in the Worship and Church Music Areas of Concentration, and will grow to a similar number of Missions entries moving forward.

Missions next

Perhaps I should distinguish this as a subspecies of Church History, or bifurcate Home and Foreign variety in the fading nomeclature of my denomination- later. For now, there are some choice things to add under our Carroll Area of Concentration Missions (WMMIS) to Too. This'll put bulk onto the collection well past my short-term 4K target...
