Introduction to serials cataloging with resource description and accss (RDA)

Abstract

This one-day pre-conference workshop, presented by Steve Shadle at NASIG 2018, was based on an abridged version of the Serials Cooperative Cataloging Training Program (SCCTP) Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop. Two sections of the workshop materials were omitted in order to complete the workshop in one day: Module 5-–Describing Carriers and Content, and Module 9–-Identifying Appropriate Copy. Module 10-–Working with Copy, was covered briefly. The overall goal of the workshop was to enable participants to catalog a “straightforward” print serial resource and to be able to understand elements of a serials cataloging record. The workshop focused primarily on cataloging print serials.
