Register todayAs has been said before, “good cataloging doesn't just happen”. This workshop gets right down to the details about how to make MARC records that will work well in each and every MARC-based library automation system out there. Whether you are copy cataloging or making original records, this workshop will teach you the essential cataloging rules and MARC standards that you need to know, and how they fit together. Not only will you learn how to find your way around AACR2R, LCRI and MARC21, but with these 'Core Cataloging Skills' you will learn how to:
- Describe a book in enough detail for your user's needs
- Assign useful search terms, such as authors, illustrators, etc. (not subject headings)
- Choose the correct MARC coding for a book record
- Decide whether or not copied records truly match your items
- Upgrade CIP records to provide missing data or edit changes
- Create 'different edition' or 'near match' records, and
- What 'bad' cataloging looks like, and how to correct it
This is a beginner’s workshop on bibliographic description, providing access points, and copy cataloging; this workshop covers books only. For an experienced cataloger, it is a near certainty that you will learn a few things you didn’t already know.
