Recently, Library of Congress cataloging staff were surveyed about their needs for ‘refresher’ training as a follow-up to RDA implementation. The material is being made freely available through the Catalogers Learning Workshop.
This page is intended as a one-stop resource for the products and services developed by the Cooperative and Instructional Programs Division (COIN), with the assistance of the Policy and Standards Division (PSD), in response to that survey. The topics listed below are addressed by using ‘performance support’ – job aids, clarifications of policies, optional ‘test-yourself’ online quizzes, etc. Click on the link below to open the document.
This page will be updated as new ‘training’ opportunities and products are developed. Among the topics still being developed are tools addressing:
- Compilations and Collaborations
- NAR 3XX Fields
- NARs for Animals, Fictitious Characters, and Biblical Figures
- NARs for People with Variant Forms, Titles of Nobility, or Dates
- Related Works and LC-PCC PS 25.1
- Serial-Related Issues
To suggest additional topics, contact Tim Carlton at [email protected].
