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.
