An ALCTS webinar.
The CONSER Standard Record (CSR) is a set of serials cataloging guidelines used by CONSER catalogers in the creation and maintenance of serial catalog records. The intent of the CSR was to streamline serials cataloging by no longer requiring unessential and/or redundant elements and eliminating unnecessary decision points in the cataloging process. This session will provide an overview of the guidelines and will discuss implementation issues through the use of examples. There will also be a short discussion of current thought in the CONSER Program about its use within an RDA framework.
Originally presented on Wednesday, October 5, 2011.
