Resources

• The MARC Bibliographic and Authority Formats workshop is the brainchild of the Catalogers' Interest Group, and involves many of the group's members in a workshop that explains MARC and the ways in which cataloging touches all aspects of the library. These members have made their presentations and resources available to all, so please take a moment to explore the links below!
