This two-day workshop provides the basic principles of creating holdings records and publication patterns with a focus on serials. All materials are based on the MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data (MFHD) and ANSI/NISO Z39.71—1999. The course includes background information on why holdings are important and a brief description of the development of the standards and instructions and exercises on creating formatted and free text holdings and publication patterns. The second half day will be devoted to OCLC Local Holdings Records (OCLC Union List of Holdings).
Audience
The course is designed for those who are new to the MARC Holdings Format, including those who have created holdings records using other mechanisms (e.g., OCLC's local data record). It is designed primarily for those who will create holdings records but is also useful for managers and system designers wishing to know more about the format and its uses.

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.

This two-day workshop, organized by SCTPG and co-sponsored by NASIG and CLA-ACTSS, presents bibliographic control concepts, including specific metadata standards and applications. The goal of the workshop is to relate what library staff already know about library catalog metadata to digital library metadata, thereby preparing staff to apply their current knowledge to new areas. This instruction in bibliographic control practices will help them continue to play a significant role in shaping library services in the emerging digital information environment.

As more resources become available electronically, libraries face an increasing challenge of acquiring and managing electronic resources. Enter Electronic Resource Management (ERM). What are the issues surrounding electronic resource management? Why is managing electronic resources important? Which ERM system is right for my library? How do I implement a system?
Our panel of vendors and librarians will highlight the current issues and trends in the management of electronic resources, including licensing and internal workflow models.

A Joint California Library Association and SCTPG Workshop
The primary objective of this workshop is to give the participant a basic
knowledge level, and the necessary skills, to ensure creation of accurate
and high-quality bibliographic records for sheet maps. At the very least,
the participant will come away with a good understanding of the differences
inherent between maps and other formats of material, primarily monographs,
as well as the variability encountered in individual maps and map sets.
Basic skills that will be taught include: how to decide which title to
choose when more than one appears on a map; providing access to other forms
of a single title; the proper techniques for measuring a map/group of maps
and how to record that and other physical description information; recording
scale information correctly when provided and determining a scale when it
is not specifically stated; using map-specific fields correctly, and others.
The participant will receive a set of reference materials that will assist
them in the process of record creation.
This workshop will not cover how to catalog: map
serials; cartographic CD-ROM products; map analytics; globes; geologic
sections, and electronic datasets (GIS or online sites). However, a brief
bibliography of source material that will assist the user in cataloging
the above material types is included in this packet of information.
