Description

This introductory session invites attendees to learn about the basics of cataloging “things” – from tea sets to museum passes, historical regalia and artifacts, toys, games, and all kinds of “non-book” materials.

In this session, attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Review key fields and MARC coding found in visual materials and mixed material records
  • Explore options for making changes to maximize a record’s usefulness for their communities
  • Examine sample records from a variety of types of libraries (and end-user communities)

Who Should Attend

Individuals newly responsible for editing and maintaining catalog data, staff members tasked with assisting patrons to find materials, and anyone with an interest in the topic.
