Cataloging Basic Serials
Workshop Coming to Kansas
By Regan W. Harper
BCR is pleased to add a serials cataloging workshop to its autumn training schedule.
"Basic Serials Cataloging" is a two-day workshop covering the basic principles of serials
cataloging for original and copy cataloging for both print and electronic serials. "Basic
Serials Cataloging" will be offered at the Lawrence (Kansas) Public Library on October
19-20.
The course focuses on the elements contained in the CONSER core record, as well as on
problem-solving and decision-making relative to serials cataloging. All materials are
based on the CONSER Editing Guide and CONSER Cataloging Manual. The workshop
is offered in cooperation with the Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program. The
course is designed for those new to serials: beginning serials catalogers and technicians
and monograph catalogers who work with serials.
Two instructors will teach the workshop: Margaret Mering, principal serials cataloger at
the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and Patricia French, serials cataloger at the
University of California at Davis.
The cost for the two-day workshop is $200 with early registration, $225 for those who
register after October 1. A limited number of spaces are available, so do not wait until
the last minute to register. For more information about the workshop, contact Regan W.
Harper (rharper@bcr.org). To register for the workshop, contact Bobbi Navarro
(bnavarro@bcr.org).
