This is an archive on a webinar delivered on January 12, 2012. Description: If you’re really new to cataloging, this session is for you. In this 90-minute online session, facilitated by NEKLS technology librarian Heather Braum, you will: learn the basic principles behind cataloging, discover why librarians catalog, learn to read a basic MARC record, see what a good MARC record looks like, learn basic cataloging terminology, and practice describing different materials. Special thanks to Robin Fay for allowing me to use a couple of the ideas shared in this webinar and presentation.
