IN-PERSON WORKSHOP ONLY**An additional ticket is needed to attend this workshop. Register here.The Electronic Serials Cataloging Workshop is designed as a hands-on training course that will introduce attendees to current standards and practices, elements and terminology used in the cataloging of electronic serials. This course is based on Resource Description and Access (RDA) as interpreted by current CONSER policy and practice with special attention paid to the differences in the cataloging of print and electronic serials. Attendees will participate in hands-on exercises which will include use of tools and documentation in support of cataloging with RDA. Knowledge of print serials cataloging practices is not required but attendees should be familiar with the MARC standard.
In addition, the workshop will introduce attendees to the use made of e-serial MARC records outside of the traditional library catalog (eg, library discovery systems and knowledgebases).
Participants in the workshop will be able to:- describe the differences between cataloging print serials and electronic serials.
- catalog an electronic serial following current CONSER practices.
- understand the various options for providing access to e-serial full-text (ie, knowledgebase, manual cataloging).
