CONSER Standard Record Workshop

This workshop focuses on data elements required in the CONSER standard record. All materials are based on the CONSER standard record documentation and the LCRIs developed to cover new practices for the description of serials, including mandatory vs. optional elements, formulation of numbering statements, and uniform titles. It will also cover CONSER’s new practices in coding the MARC fixed and variable fields in OCLC.

This workshop consists of slide presentations with exercises on paper. Trainees will not be using a computer as part of the workshop.

This workshop is intended for catalogers who have been active catalogers and are familiar with AACR2R, MARC serials tagging, and fundamental approaches to serials cataloging. This course is designed as a supplement to other serials cataloging training and for those people wanting to catalog serials following the new CONSER standard.

Session includes:

• Principles of the CONSER standard record
• Where to find documentation
• What’s the same and what’s new
• Working with copy
• In-class exercises
