Together we will identify and answer crucial questions such as What are the chief sources of information for sound recordings? How do I decide on the title proper? When am I required to input a new record? How do I deal with all those dates and numbers? Sticking with the basics, we'll develop successful solutions to practical cataloging problems. Enrollment limited to 25 participants. Music ReferenceParticipants in this workshop will become familiar with tools and techniques to help locate recordings and printed music, as well as other sources of general information about music and musicians in various genres of music. We will identify some of the common problems encountered and discuss how to determine what the patron is actually trying to locate. Print and online sources will be covered.
