Seats are still available in this cataloging workshop. Do you know someone who could benefit from attending? If so, please forward to them. TBLC Workshop Announcement Book Blitz I (4 Days) As it has been said before, good cataloging doesn't just happen. This workshop gets right down to the details about how to make MARC records that will work well in each and every MARC-based library automation system out there. Whether you are copy cataloging or making original records, this workshop will teach you the essential cataloging rules and MARC standards that you need to know, and how they fit together. Not only will you learn how to find your way around AACR2R, LCRI and MARC21, but you will also learn these 'Core Cataloging Skills': * How to describe a book in enough detail for your user's needs * How to assign useful search terms, such as authors, illustrators, etc. (not subject headings) * How to choose the correct MARC coding for a book record * How to decide whether or not copied records truly match your items * How to upgrade CIP records to provide missing data or edit changes * How to create 'different edition' or 'near match' records * What 'bad' cataloging looks like, and how to correct it. (P.S. we spend more than 3 hours on dates alone) N.B. This is a beginner's workshop on bibliographic description, providing access points, and copy cataloging; this workshop covers books only. See other workshop descriptions below for coverage of subject headings and classification; and see Series C: Advanced for advanced Book Blitz workshops, and for workshops on the cataloging of non-print materials. For a beginning cataloger, this workshop is the third step in your long journey to excellence in cataloging. (Your first step should be: MARC21 in Your Library; your second: Just for Copy Catalogers.) For an experienced cataloger, it is a near certainty that you will learn a few things you didn't already know. Handouts with examples and worksheets will be provided.

TBLC Workshop Announcement 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: * Parallel titles * Part titles * Confusing statements of responsibility * Collections * More on series * More on personal name, corporate, conference, and uniform title headings * Verifying name and title headings against the LC Authority files 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.
