Introduction to Cataloging

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? Catalog Librarian Steven Bernstein explains the theory and practice of cataloging.

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:

  • Have an understanding of the theoretical concepts behind cataloging
  • Have an understanding of the practice aspects of cataloging
  • Have an introduction to MARC and RDA and have the resources to further explore on your own
