Workshop Descriptions
Conference participants may select two 3-hour workshops from the following (see Program Schedule below):
Participants in this workshop will explore how recent developments in RDA (Resource Description and Access) and MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) affect descriptive cataloging of musical scores. Together we will investigate how to construct access points and preferred titles, apply relationship designators, and select terms from new vocabularies. We will also learn about new MARC fields and subfields and discuss when to input a new record. Time will be set aside for students to practice creating and/or editing catalog records of their own. Please bring at least one musical score to catalog. Enrollment limited to 36 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 lively discussion and interactive exercises on the following topics: core challenges and strategies for building music collections, vendors, approval plans/standing orders, and development policies. Participants are encouraged to bring their personal laptops or tablets. Enrollment limited to 20 participants.
Cataloging Videorecordings in RDA
Participants in this workshop will learn basic skills for cataloging videorecordings in RDA (Resource Description and Access) and MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging). Using a hands-on approach we’ll solve specific challenges like providing a physical description, constructing a statement of responsibility, selecting genre headings, defining relationships, using new MARC fields for RDA (like the 33X and 34X fields), identifying relevant dates, and coding information in a variety of coded fields (like the 007, 024, 028, 033, and 041). Time will be set aside during which students can practice creating and/or editing catalog records of their own. Please bring at least one videorecording (preferably a DVD) to catalog. Enrollment limited to 36 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. Participants are encouraged to bring their personal laptops or tablets. Enrollment limited to 20 participants.
