Description: This workshop is designed for practicing catalogers from all
types of libraries who have a working knowledge of the MARC21
bibliographic format and AACR2.  The course is based on the revised
chapters 9 and 12 of AACR2 and covers all integrating resources, with an
emphasis on remote access electronic integrating resources. The workshop
covers the new rules that have been added to these chapters and will
provide timely guidance to catalogers who may be responsible for
cataloging them. The sessions include an introduction to integrating
resources and their identification, instructions for originally cataloging
updating Web sites and databases, making changes to existing records, and
case studies covering more difficult aspects of cataloging electronic
integrating resources.

SCCTP:  This workshop is part of the Library of Congress Serials
Cataloging Cooperative Training Program (SCCTP), which provides
standardized training materials and trained trainers in the field of
continuing resources. For further information, see:
