RARE SERIALS CATALOGING WORKSHOP

A workshop sponsored by the California Library Association
Access, Collections, and Technical Services Section (CLA ACTSS).
Developed from a shorter workshop presented at the ALA ACRL
Rare Books and Manuscripts Section Preconference held in
Montreal in June, 1999.

This full-day workshop will provide participants with experience
in the problems and techniques of cataloging rare serials through
presentations, informative handouts, and hands-on exercises.
Participants are encouraged to bring specific cataloging problems.
Attendance will be limited to 25 participants.

Aimed particularly at rare books catalogers without serials cataloging
experience and serials catalogers who have responsibility for cataloging
rare materials. A working knowledge of DCRB (Descriptive Cataloging of
Rare Books) is desirable, but not essential. All participants must be
familiar with USMARC.
