NEFLIN is hosting the following FREE cataloging classes:MARC 21 in Your Library
What is MARC and how does it work with cataloging to function effectively in your catalog? Have you ever wondered:
· Why a book can be found by its author and yet cannot be found by its title?
· Why only six books in Spanish appear to be in your database, when you know you have sixty?
· Why the video version of Hamlet cannot be found without wading through all the book versions of Hamlet in your collection?
You too can solve these fascinating types of riddles if you know just a bit about some of those confusing codes in a MARC record. Come and join your fellow beginners to learn how to read a MARC record, and how to tell if some of the most important elements of the record are present and correct.

Just for Copy Cats
What is copy cataloging? This workshop provides an introduction to finding cataloging records that you can copy, explaining some of the more obvious challenges and some neglected database issues, with a brief look at essential editing. Although not a substitute for the 4 day Book Blitz , this workshop will get you started in the basic principles of copy cataloging.
· How to read a MARC Record for searching, matching and editing
· Search terms and their sources
· Matching books and records
· Special matching problems - Dates
· Special matching problems - CIP
· How to recognize what is wrong with a record, so that you can either fix it or report it to someone who can. These include wrong indicators (especially filing and tracing indicators), badly coded 008 (Fixed field), missing subject headings, duplicate match keys, and unverified headings.
Attendees should bring a printout of a MARC record from their local automated system.
Recommended prerequisite: MARC 21 in your Library
