Special Collections Cataloging Workshop

 

Through lectures, visual aids, and in-class exercises, workshop participants will be introduced to cataloging rare books and gain practical experience using Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) (DCRM(B)). The workshop will focus on the descriptive portions of the bibliographic record, following the scope of DCRM(B), and will attempt to answer the question “What is a Rare Book?” from a cataloging point of view. There will also be an overview of the issues surrounding the cataloging of artists’ books. Participants should have working knowledge of MARC 21-based AACR2 cataloging, and should bring a copy of DCRM(B), if possible. A brief reading assignment will be sent to participants upon registering for the workshop.
