Description
The Advanced Serials Cataloging Workshop is an in-depth course on the rules
and practices applied to original cataloging of serials. However, there are
no specific instructions for electronic serials included in this workshop.
While the course focuses on printed serials, the instructions are applicable
to serials in any format. It includes information about the 2002 revision
of chapter 12 of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR), 2nd edition
revised. Course materials do not include information about the CONSER
Standard Record, but this will be included in the discussion by the
trainers. 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, commutations,
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 how they
display in library OPACs
The course is designed for people who have at least taken the Basic Serials
Cataloging Workshop or who have been active serials catalogers for more than
one year and are familiar with MARC serials tagging and fundamental
approaches to serials cataloging. While attendees who do not have this
background in serials may find parts of the workshop useful, the instructors
will not have sufficient time to review basic serials cataloging.
Trainers

McKeldin Library, University of Maryland, College Park
* Linda Geisler, Head, Serials Cataloging Section 1, Serials Records
Division, Library of Congress
