- Pre-Conference: NACO-AV - led by Peter Lisius, NACO-AV Funnel Coordinator, Music and Media Catalog Librarian, Associate Professor, Kent State University (Presentation Slides)
This workshop is aimed at individuals either currently participating in or desiring to participate in the NACO-AV Funnel Project, in addition to those wishing to learn how to create name-authority records in the RDA environment. The construction of both authorized and variant access points for personal name, corporate name, and titles will be covered, specifically based on MARC encoding. Participants will also be instructed on using entities and notes related to authorized access points. Instruction will be based on RDA guidelines, LC-PCC PSs, and other documentation from the Library of Congress. Following completion of the workshop, individuals who are not yet contributing to the funnel may begin doing so. They will be assigned a reviewer and be given further instructions on acquiring proper authorizations and the mechanics of sharing headings. - 3D Objects & 2D Graphics Cataloging (the Fun Touchable Stuff!) Using RDA and MARC21 - led by Julie Renee Moore, Head of Cataloging, Digital Service Division, California State University, Fresno (Presentation Slides)
This workshop will focus on the RDA description of some special formats-- such as 3-dimensional objects (such as realia, models, replicas, kits, and games) and 2-dimensional graphics (such as flash cards, pictures, posters, x-rays). Julie has much practice with these sorts of materials, housed in The Teacher Resources Center of the Henry Madden Library at Fresno State, which is home to the largest curriculum collection in the state of California. Attendees will participate in hands-on exercises which will include resources and documentation in support of cataloging these special formats with RDA. - The Progress of BIBFRAME - led by Angela Kroeger, Archives and Special Collections Associate, University of Nebraska at Omaha (Presentation Slides)
BIBFRAME is the Library of Congress's current effort to develop a linked data replacement for MARC. BIBFRAME is a work in progress, not yet ready for implementation. In this two-hour session, we will examine how BIBFRAME works, what it is intended to accomplish, and the progress that has been made toward that goal. We'll take a look at the BIBFRAME tools that are under development, including the prototype editor for creating new records. And we'll share a glimpse of what the future holds for library catalogs and cataloging. - Scores Cataloging - led by Margaret (Kaus) Corby, Metadata Librarian, Kansas State University
(Presentation Slides)
This workshop will cover the differences between AACR2 and RDA cataloging for music scores, specifically the new MARC21 fields created to accommodate RDA fields. The basics of score cataloging will be covered, as time allows. There will be some discussion on when to input a new record into OCLC, and some hints on searching for scores in OCLC. - Cataloging Audio Recordings with RDA - led by Mary Huismann, Music/Media Cataloging Coordinator, University of Minnesota (Presentation Slides: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3; Exercises)
Participants in this workshop will learn about the differences between AACR2 and RDA cataloging for audio recordings, including new MARC21 fields created to accommodate RDA elements. Both musical and non-musical audio recordings will be covered. Although the focus will be on compact discs, other formats will be considered. - Video Cataloging for the Novice - led by Jay Weitz, Senior Consulting Database Specialist, OCLC
(Presentation Slides)
This workshop will cover an introduction to using the RDA standard for visual materials including sources of information; fixed field and 007 coding; the GMD versus Content/Media/Carrier; field 300; statements of responsibility; video carrier details; broadcast standards; regional encoding; aspect ratio; sound characteristics; and other topics. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of the MARC 21 format for Visual Materials. - Advanced Video Cataloging - led by Jay Weitz, Senior Consulting Database Specialist, OCLC
(Presentation slides included with Video Cataloging for the Novice)
This workshop will cover an introduction to using the RDA standard for visual materials including sources of information; fixed field and 007 coding; the GMD versus Content/Media/Carrier; field 300; statements of responsibility; video carrier details; broadcast standards; regional encoding; aspect ratio; sound characteristics; and other topics. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of the MARC 21 format for Visual Materials.
- Maps Cataloging - led by Paige Andrew, Maps Cataloging Librarian, Pennsylvania State University (Handouts: See below)
The three areas of a bibliographic record describing a cartographic resource that typically cause the most questions for those catalogers new to the format or who only occasionally catalog them are: (1) choosing between multiple titles for the title proper, (2) scale statements and their conversion and geographic coordinates, and (3) the physical description. This RDA-focused cataloging workshop will delve into expression and manifestation elements from these three descriptive areas, using the sheet map as a focus. It is expected that attendees be familiar with overall RDA-based changes such as no longer using abbreviations, and navigating the RDA toolkit.
The instructor’s primary goal is to build confidence in working with the details of these areas (MARC 245, 255, and 300 fields), as well as to teach the correct way to record the data that goes into each. We will also learn to use the Natural Scale Indicator with a hands-on exercise, and will conclude with the attendees creating a brief descriptive record for a map.
Workshop attendees will receive a set of handouts as reference materials that touch on the entire range of descriptive and other elements contained in the bibliographic record for cartographic resources. The handouts cover not only the above-mentioned areas and more, but also include several “ready reference” resources, some of which are RDA-specific documents. In addition, each attendee will receive a Natural Scale Indicator, if needed, for use back home.
