[Conntech] CLC OCLC Webinars

[Christine Bradley]

Hi All:
I hate to be the one to remind you that "after the first of the year" is now
only a couple of weeks away, but it is, and I want to remind you of some
webinars on both "WorldCat Collection Analysis" and "MARC Basics" from
OCLC/CAPCON that CLC is hosting in January, (the webinar being a convenient
January workshop venue for those who want to avoid both snow and snow
dates!) 

WorldCat Collection Analysis
Tuesday, 1/8 10:00-noon 
and
Wednesday, 1/9 1:00-3:00 
Course description:
WorldCat Collection Analysis allows you to evaluate your library's
collection in order to reveal its strengths, gaps, and overlaps in
comparison to the holdings of peer libraries and institutions contributing
to the WorldCat database.  Ongoing access to new and updated reports allows
for a continuous examination of your collection development activities.
These reports will assist libraries in making decisions based on such
factors as age, language, material format, and audience level of their
collections. Participants will learn how to use WorldCat Collection Analysis
for peer and group comparisons, comparison to the WorldCat database,
comparison to their interlibrary loan statistics, and comparisons to lists
and predefined groups.
Instructor: 
Paulette Hasier, OCLC
 
 
MARC Basics
Wednesday, 1/23 10:00-noon  
and 
Wednesday, 1/30 10:00-noon
Course description
This workshop provides an overview of the coding of Machine Readable Catalog
records. The emphasis is on the books format, but the most important tags
for other media, such as visual materials and computer files, will be
discussed.
Instructor: 
Paulette Hasier, OCLC

Note that OCLC is now using WebEx instead of MS Live Meeting, and that the
price of webinars has been reduced.
