Event Description

Libraries maintain collections of cake pans, bicycles, garden tools, musical instruments, equipment... you name it, somebody circulates it. This practical, interactive cataloging workshop will break down the areas of catalog records dedicated to content, usage, and physical description of all of your weirdest objects. We will also discuss the challenges of labeling and processing unusual formats. Please feel free to bring questions, stories, and tricky items from your workflows. See examples of effective descriptions and learn how to fearlessly catalog whatever comes your way!

Learning objectives:

  • Gain familiarity with format-specific areas of MARC bibliographic records
  • Learn to use physical details of objects to create effective descriptions
  • Explore creative solutions to physical processing and labeling challenges
ATTENTION ATTENDEES:  Please bring a laptop or device
