The SCCTP Basic serials cataloging workshop manuals are very good, but if
you have a chance, I strongly recommend attending one of the 2 day
workshops the group is putting on.  I attended one of the workshops
recently at UCLA which was sponsored by OCLC Western and it was excellent.

Subject: New serials librarian needs suggestions

Dear Colleagues,

Not only am I new to Serials cataloguing, but I am completely new
to cataloguing, after 18 years as a government documents librarian.
My department head has asked for a list of books and guides that I
would like to have to help me in the learning process. I already have
the SCCTP Basic serials cataloging workshop manuals, both instructor
and trainee; the CONSER editing guide; Serials cataloging handbook;
and Notes for serials cataloging. The CONSER cataloging manual is
already on order for me. Is there anything else specifically for
serials that anyone out there can recommend? I seem to have all the
basic cataloging tools, AACR2R, DDC21, LC subject headings, etc.

Thanks,

Jan Torbet
San Francisco Public Library

2 items of advice:
1.      Have the library subscribe to Serials Librarian (if they don't already)
2.      Join NASIG and go to the annual conferences

Also - It helps if you have a well-developed tolerance for the bizarre and
the unsolvable. Call or email me any time if you want help.
