TBLC Workshop Announcement 

Just for Copy Cats (2 Days)


What is copy cataloging? It is not the same as original cataloging; it
has its own special procedures and guidelines to be followed. This
workshop provides an introduction to finding cataloging records that you
can copy, explaining some of the more obvious challenges and some
neglected database issues, with a brief look at essential editing. You
will need to come to the Book Blitz (4 days) workshop to know how to do
a really superb job of editing records that you copy, but this workshop
will get you started in the basic principles of copy cataloging. 

Topics covered: 

*	How to read a MARC record for searching, matching and editing 
*	Search terms and their sources 
*	Matching books and records 
*	Special matching problems--Dates 
*	Special matching problems-CIP 
*	How to recognize what is wrong with a record, so that you can
either fix it or report it to someone who can 
	For example: 

	*	Wrong indicators (especially filing and tracing
indicators) 
	*	Badly coded 008 (Fixed field) 
	*	Missing subject headings 
	*	Duplicate match keys 
	*	Unverified headings 

For a beginning cataloger, this workshop is the second step in your long
journey to excellence in cataloging. (Your first step should be: 'MARC21
in Your Library') For an experienced cataloger, you may learn a few
things you didn't realize that you didn't know. If you intend to come to
Book Blitz I, you should come to this workshop first.

A detailed handout will be provided. Attendees should, if possible,
bring a printout of a MARC record from their local automated system.
