Advanced Serials Cataloging Workshop an SCCTP Workshop July 15-16, 2008 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (Registration starts at 8:30 a.m.) Library of Congress James Madison Bldg., Room LM 654 (Classrooms A&B in the Mumford Room) 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.
