SCCTP Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop and SCCTP Serials
Holdings Workshop in Nevada
The North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) and Bibliographic
Center for
Research (BCR) are co-sponsoring two SCCTP workshops on June 4-6 in Las
Vegas Library, Nevada.
1. SCCTP Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop
Basic Serials Cataloging is a two-day workshop covering the basic
principles
of serials cataloging for original and copy cataloging for print and
electronic serials. The course focuses on the elements contained in
the
CONSER core record, as well as problem-solving and decision-making
relative
to serials cataloging. All materials are based on the CONSER
Editing Guide
and CONSER Cataloging Manual. This workshop is offered in
cooperation with
the Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program (SCCTP). Under
the
auspices of the CONSER Program, the SCCTP provides authoritative training
materials and trained serials experts to enable broad-ranging education
in
the field of serials cataloging.
The course is designed for those new to serials: beginning serials
catalogers and technicians and monograph catalogers working with serials.
NOTE: Participants will be asked to fill out a needs assessment document
prior to training. This document will help the instructors prepare
for
individual strengths and weaknesses. Pre-class exercises will be
made
available to participants upon registration.
Instructor: Linda Gonzalez
Site: Las Vegas Library, Nevada
Date & Time: June 4-5, 2002, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

2. SCCTP Serials Holdings Workshop
This course provides participants with the key information needed to
understand the basic principles for creating accurate holdings records
and
describing publication patterns. Course 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 exercises on creating
formatted and free text holdings and publication patterns. The
instructions
and exercises are system-neutral, but the course includes time for
discussion of local system implementation.
The course is designed for those 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
staff who
will create holding records, but is also useful for managers and system
designers wishing to know more about the format and its uses.
Instructor: Linda Gonzalez
Site: Las Vegas Library, Nevada
Date & Time: June 6, 2002, 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
