Book Blitz II (2 Days)
Really good cataloging doesn't come easily. It takes commitment to details to figure out how to handle some of the trickier cataloging problems that can arise. In Book Blitz I we cover the easy rules. In this workshop, Book Blitz II, we move on to some of the more complex cataloging rules, the ones that make you frown!
Once you are comfortable with finding your way around the basic cataloging tools--the Anglo American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2R), Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRI), and the MARC coding standards (MARC21)--you will be ready to tackle the harder stuff, for example:
N.B.Although the examples in this workshop are all for books, the relevant rules can be applied to all types of materials. However, this workshop does not cover subject headings, classification, or specific details on cataloging non-print materials.
Attendees are advised that they will be expected to have attended Book Blitz I before coming to this workshop.
Handouts with examples and worksheets will be provided.
