OCLC MARC Basics for Everyone - Online

Description
This online workshop provides an intensive introduction in three two-hour sessions to the OCLC MARC bibliographic format. While typically for staff performing original and copy cataloging, this workshop will also help interlibrary loan and reference staff improve their ability to search WorldCat and precisely retrieve the records they need. Participants will learn:

• The structure of the OCLC MARC record
• The coding for the most commonly used fixed field elements and variable fields
• How to access and efficiently use OCLC documentation
• Practice and readings will be provided for participants to complete on their own

NOTE: This course is designed for individual participation. Regardless of whether you attend as an individual or as a group, the fee for this online workshop will be charged for each person who views the session. All participants must register separately.
