The following 2 free half-day workshops will be held on Tuesday, May 16 at the Middletown Library Service Center. Attend
one or both sessions. The Accidental Copy Cataloger You’re now a Copy Cataloger! You sit at a computer, search an online catalog and find a bibliographic record that matches
the book (or CD or DVD) in your hand. What rules were used to create that record? What is the logic, the thought process, behind all of that information? Does the record you found match the item you have in your hand?
Why or why not? Cataloging Consultant Dodie Gaudet explains the bibliographic record and helps you decide whether or not to attach your holdings to what you’ve found. This 3-hour workshop is appropriate for copy catalogers, new catalogers and anyone wanting
a brief review of current cataloging rules (AACR2 and RDA). The workshop is not intended to address practices of any specific library system or network. By the end of this class, you will: ·
Be able to match an item to its exact bibliographic record ·
Know when an item does not match and why ·
Know what additional information is needed to complete a brief record For details and to register, visit

Melvil Dewey, his revolutionary idea, and how to use it more effectively in this 3 hour workshop lead by Cataloging Consultant Dodie Gaudet.
Please bring a recent edition (22nd or 23rd unabridged; 13th or 14th abridged) of DDC and items that need classifying. By the end of this class, you will: ·
Understand why Dewey created his classification system ·
Know how the system works ·
