LCSH Week 7: Guest post from Carrie Pirmann

Since as I've stated, I'm getting a little sick of LCSHWatch, I took Amanda's suggestion to solicit a guest contributor. As you'll see Carrie did a great job with Week 7, but I'm not sure my inner control freak will allow me to share my blog, even a little. Feedback, please!
