The world of music cataloging is often puzzling to catalogers that have no music background or experience!

In this new workshop, Archer-Capuzzo and Huismann will put the puzzle pieces in place by covering the basics of music cataloging using the current RDA: Resource Description and Access and MARC21 standards.

You'll learn about topics such as:

  • Basic music information and concepts
  • MARC tags for music
  • Searching OCLC and determining the best record in OCLC
  • Brief introduction to music preferred titles and subject and genre/form headings
  • Numbers (publisher numbers and how they are used)
  • Dates (types of dates found and their significance, and what to do when there is no date)
