This workshop prepares participants to begin copy cataloging by demonstrating how to interpret bibliographic records and match to items in hand. Topics include terminology, resources, and workflow. Hands-on exercises provide practice using new skills. The class utilizes OCLC Connexion and Library of Congress for matching records. The workshop concentrates on monograph records but the concepts for all formats are discussed. Learning Objectives: Define copy cataloging including basic cataloging principles & terminology Identify job skills and work flow for copy cataloging Evaluate what fields should evoke a match Target Audience : New library staff members or more experienced librarians who want a review * Each class participant should bring at least two books or other materials to use in live copy cataloging matching sessions (I will have some 'canned' searches and matches but it is always nice if the participants can bring materials to gain more real world experience)
