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 responsible for editing and maintaining catalog records and anyone with an interest in the topic.
