Reminder TQM cataloguing workshops on Rudimentary RDA, RDA and copy cataloguing and MARC21 registration closing shortly
by Joanne Rowan 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

[Apologies for the cross-posting] CATSIG is running the following TMQ (The Marc of Quality) cataloguing workshops: MARC21 in your library (1 day): This course is a beginner's introduction to MARC21 and how it is meant to work in a library automation system. It explains what the MARC standards are and how those standards tie in with our current cataloguing rules (AACR) to help cataloguers create data that will function effectively in a library catalogue. See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/trnindex.html for more information. In Wellington or online on 9th Sept. 9am-4pm CatSIG members $150, LIANZA members $200, Other $250 Rudimentary RDA (1 day): In the course of the workshop, we intend to answer the following questions: * How RDA is intended to help the users of our OPACs * What are FRBR, WEMI, FISO, and FRAD * What is really different about RDA * What is the RDA Toolkit * What is RIMMF * How the Toolkit and RDA-based cataloguing software (such as RIMMF) will make it simpler for us to describe and provide access to resources * What we should do with RDAMARC records that we copy, to make those records work properly in our OPACs See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/rda.html for more information. In Wellington or online on 8th Sept. 9am-4pm CatSIG members $150, LIANZA members $200, Other $250 RDA/MARC for Copy Cats (2 days): Copy cataloguing is becoming somewhat more complicated, as various important creators of MARC records gradually switch from following AACR rules to following RDA instructions for the records they make. RDA/MARC records certainly look different than AACR/MARC records, and so do the Hybrid AACR/MARC records that are also showing up for you to copy. But the good news is that there are some straightforward patterns in the RDA instructions that will help clarify the changes that RDA brings to our copy cataloguing process. You will need to have access to a computer for this session. See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/rda.html for more information. In Auckland or online on 26-27 Aug. 9am-4pm CatSIG members $300, LIANZA members $400, Other $500 To register please send an email to catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> by Wednesday 20th August. 1.
