Preparing Copy Catalogers for RDA: Beyond Guidelines and Procedures:

In contrast to RDA training on "what to know," these presentations will focus on "how to teach" RDA copy cataloging. Included will be strategies for both training new copy catalogers and transitioning AACR2-experienced catalogers into a dual-cataloging-rules environment.

Speakers:

Erin Stalberg, Head, Metadata and Cataloging, North Carolina State University Libraries

Amy Weiss, Associate Dean, Technical Services Division, Florida State University, University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida.

Annie Glerum, Head of Complex Cataloging Department, Florida State University, University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida.

Beyond Training: Developing "Copy Cataloger's Judgment" For Complex and Original Cataloging:

For a number of reasons, including the use of PromptCat and budget cuts (resulting in fewer librarian positions and fewer new books
ordered), copy catalogers at the University of California, Davis have gradually assumed more responsibility for categories of cataloging
that were once the exclusive responsibility of librarians. Through inhouse training/documentation and ongoing consultation, copy
catalogers are increasing their confidence and expertise to make cataloging decisions in situations that are atypical or present more
than one acceptable solution.

Speaker:

Elaine A. Franco, Principal Cataloger, Cataloging & MetadataServices, Shields Library, University of California, Davis
