Description

This 1 1/2 workshop will take place on November 20 (8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) and November 21 (9:00 a.m. - 1 p.m.). This course provides the basic principles of serials cataloging for original and copy cataloging for print and electronic serials. The course has been recently revised to incorporate CONSER's guidelines for creating the newly developed CONSER Standard Record.

The course focuses on the elements contained in the CONSER standard record (CSR), including appropriate MARC 21 tagging, as well as problem-solving and decision-making relative to serials cataloging.

All materials are based on the CONSER standard record documentation, CONSER Editing Guide, and CONSER Cataloging Manual.

Audience

The course is designed for those new to serials: beginning serials catalogers and technicians and monograph catalogers working with serials.
