An ALCTS Webcast.
Back by popular demand! Do you have MORE "icky stuff" that wasn't covered in the first icky stuff webinar? Are you a new or inexperienced cataloger or someone who has to catalog because there is no one else to do it? Or are you an experienced cataloger but just not comfortable working with these new-fangled formats? Well, this webinar can help.
Starting with a very brief review of how to catalog a book, this webinar moves quickly to focus on cataloging graphic novels/anime, eBooks, songbooks/scores, streaming audio and video, video games, and all sorts of equipment. You will get tips and cheat sheets that will allow you to create a full-level MARC record so that you can move things off the shelves and into your collection.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to create a full-level MARC record for almost any library item.
Who Should Attend
New or inexperienced catalogers, as well as catalogers in all types of libraries needing an update or refresher on creating records for new formats.
