Date: December 1, 2010
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm
Eastern, 1pm Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description: FRBR first appeared twelve years ago, and although many of its
basic concepts are well known, how many of your staff have read and understand
the complete text? Do you know that, for example, chapter six explains how to
talk about FRBR with library administrators and public service librarians?
This presentation will describe in greater detail our active training
methods for FRBR. Our novel and effective program engages the entire cataloging
staff with an interactive digress.it blog facilitating a group close reading,
hands-on simulations with small groups working together with hundreds of
strings of different colored yarn, and debriefing to build consensus about how
next-gen tools will be implemented. The active process empowers library staff
and the observations from the debriefing foreshadow the major issues that will
be faced in implementing new tools at a particular library. This training
session is aimed at cataloging managers to help empower their staff with new tools,
anticipate challenges in implementation, and build team morale.
Presenters: James P. Ascher is an Assistant Professor and Rare Book
Cataloger at the University of Colorado at Boulder since 2009, where he teaches
book history and maintains bibliographical databases. He holds an MS in
Mathematics in addition to his MLIS and has published on bibliographical
methods in RBM--the premier journal in rare books and manuscripts studies.
Peter J. Rolla, Assistant Professor, Catalog Librarian, University of Colorado
at Boulder Libraries. He has an MLIS from Simmons College and an M. Phil. in
Spanish Language and Literature from Yale University
