Cataloging
Bootcamp: Back to the Basics in Non-Print Formats
Libraries today provide more than books, offering sound
recordings, films, kits, and more. Learn how to use MARC tagging and
coding, and AACR2 to describe “special” materials so you can represent
these important resources in your online catalog. Basic workforms and
examples will be provided for each material type. Topics include:
- Identifying the material type being cataloged
- Finding the key sections of AACR2 that apply to describing
special materials
- Recognizing MARC fields that are specific to non-print materials
This class will teach attendees the purpose and functions of the
catalog record, as well as the rules and practices for bibliographic
description of non-book materials.
Full or associate members: $90.00
Participants or non-members: $135.00
