The SCCTP Advanced Serials Cataloging Workshop is an in-depth course on
the rules and practices applied to original cataloging of serials. While
the course focuses on printed serials, the instructions are applicable to
serials in any format. (However, there are no specific instructions for
electronic serials included in this workshop.) Course topics include:

What is a serial in the revised scope of AACR2 and how do serials compare
to monographs and integrating resources An area-by-area approach to the
cataloging of serials, including some of the more complex aspects: uniform
titles, links, designations, and title transcription Cataloging of special
kinds of serials: supplements, cumulations, reprints, microform
reproductions, and conference publications Major and minor changes,
particularly what constitutes a major title change in the revised rules
Discussion of how serial records are used in libraries and displayed in
library OPACs
