Advanced Serials Cataloging Face to Face Workshop
January 26, 2016, 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM
University of Miami, Richter Library
This in-person session will begin with a group question-and-answer review of the practice cataloging given in the January 11 Serials Title Changes Webinar. It will then transition into the various notes used in serials cataloging related to title changes and used for describing the peculiarities of continuing resources. Major CONSER cataloging practices will also be explained. Additionally, the session will provide participants with the principles of the CONSER provider-neutral policy, which is endorsed and strongly encouraged by OCLC. Time permitting, the class can address cataloging problems they are dealing with at work.
This training is part of a suite of trainings on Serials. It was preceded by a January 11 webinar, and will be followed by 2 webinars in February 2017.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to apply the RDA guidelines for title changes, construct descriptive notes for serials, identify major CONSER cataloging practices, and apply provider-neutral practices to bibliographic descriptions.
