ALCTS AACR2 2002 Revision and Metadata Regional Institutes

After three successful Regional Institutes held in Chicago (Nov. 1-2,
2002), Washington, D.C.  (Nov. 4-5, 2002) and Orlando, FL (Feb. 21-22,

The Early-Bird Special Register for San Jose is March 13, 2003.

AACR2 2002 Revision was comprehensively revised and published and the
Library of Congress has implemented this edition recently.  ALCTS, a
leader in the profession sponsoring authoritative continuing education
programs, has invited experts to provide training at these timely AACR2
2002 Revision and Metadata Regional Institutes.  Please come to attend
this Institute to sharpen your skills!  As a registered participant you
will also take home a comprehensive and valuable handbook from the
Institute!

These Institutes include experts speaking and training on new concepts,
revised and expanded chapters of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules,
2nd Edition, 2002 Revised Edition, MARC 21, and the applications of
these rules and formats. It also explores new approaches to cataloging
resources, especially the practicalities of dealing with metadata for
Web resources with a vision for the future.

Learn from the experts the most effective and most efficient
applications for cataloging by applying the new concepts and new and
revised rules included in AACR2 2002 chapters 1, 3, 9, 12, 21 and other
relevant chapters. New information and revisions to AACR2 will be
compared and implications for MARC 21 will be included in the presentations.

Scopes and topics range from cataloging in a dynamic electronic age to
the how-to's of creating records in various formats including:
cartographic materials, continuing resources, databases, electronic
resources, newly defined integrating resources, legal and loose-leaf
publications, serials and Web sites. Also included are the steps to
building a Metadata repository, standards, thesauri and the development
of authority files to enhance end-user access as a means to provide
integrated access to diverse information resources.
