Workshop Descriptions
Conference participants may select two 3-hour workshops from the following:
Participants in this workshop will enjoy a hands-on approach to cataloging sound recordings using RDA (Resource Description and Access). Together we will identify and answer crucial questions such as How do I now record titles and statements of responsibility? What are the chief sources of information for sound recordings? How do I decide on the title proper? How do I deal with relationships? How do I record publication/distribution/manufacturing statement? When do I input a new record? Sticking with the basics, we'll develop successful solutions to practical cataloging problems. Bring a musical sound recording to catalog. During the workshop, as fields or types of information are discussed, you will work out a record for your item. You will be able to take this partial catalog record home with you. Most catalogers will be dealing with a mix of AACR2 and RDA records in the future. This workshop will provide a grounding in RDA and highlight key differences in RDA and AACR2 cataloging. Enrollment limited to 24 participants.
Participants 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. Enrollment limited to 15 participants.
Cataloging Videorecordings in RDA
Join us for this workshop and learn the basic skills of video recordings cataloging in RDA (Resource Description and Access). Using a hands-on approach, we'll solve specific challenges posed by topics such as physical description, statements of responsibility, series issues, genre headings, relationships, new MARC fields used in RDA (like the 33x and 34x fields), and all those troublesome numbers--- 007, 028, 037, 030, and 024. Bring a music-related video recording to catalog. During the workshop, as fields or types of information are discussed, you will work out a record for your item. You will be able to take this partial catalog record home with you. Enrollment limited to 24 participants.
Music Collection Development / Acquisitions
Participants in this workshop will learn the basic tools and skills for purchasing, selecting and deselecting music materials for their library based on the needs of their user community. The workshop will include a lively discussion of vendors, approval plans/standing orders, and development policies, as well as some interactive exercises. Enrollment limited to 15 participants.
