9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
SWON Libraries Office
Joseph P. Hinger is the Associate Director for Library Technical Services at St. John's University Rittenberg Law Library. Joe has been certified by the Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program of the CONSER Office of the Library of Congress to present this workshop.
This 2 day workshop will take place on June 24 (9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.) and June 25 (9:00 a.m. - 4 p.m.). The Advanced Serials Cataloging Workshop is an in-depth course on the rules and practices applied to original cataloging of serials. However, there are no specific instructions for electronic serials included in this workshop. While the course focuses on printed serials, the instructions are applicable to serials in any format. It is timed for release in 2002 when the forthcoming revision of chapter 12 of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR), 2nd edition revised is published. Course topics include:
* What is a serial in the revised scope of AACR2 and how do serials compare to monographs and integrating resources
* An area-by-area approach to the cataloging of serials, including some of the more complex aspects: uniform titles, links, designations, and title transcription
* Cataloging of special kinds of serials: supplements, commutations, reprints, microform reproductions, and conference publications
* Major and minor changes, particularly what constitutes a major title change in the revised rules
* Discussion of how serial records are used in libraries and displayed in library OPACs
The course is designed for people who have at least taken the Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop or who have been active serials catalogers for more than one year and are familiar with MARC serials tagging and fundamental approaches to serials cataloging. While attendees who do not have this background in serials may find parts of the workshop useful, the instructors will not have sufficient time to review basic serials cataloging.
