Prerequisites
Book Blitz I and Book Blitz II
Course description
In Book Blitz III we will pick up some interesting loose ends that we were unable to cover in either BBI or BBII, such as:
·what do I do with typos in descriptive fields
·when should I enter info as a subtitle vs a statement of responsibility?
·how do I handle multiple edition statements?
·when do I need to add a statement of responsibility for an edition?
·when do I enter the name of a publisher's imprint (subsidiary) instead of the name of the parent company?
·more date problems
·more series problems.
Then we will move on to some slightly more complex matters, concentrating primarily on the sources of information, bibliographic description, and access points for:
·single works in multiple units (e.g., multi-volume sets)
·multiple works in single units (e.g., collections, with or without a collective title) ·multiple works in multiple units (e.g., monographic sets vs series)
We'll keep one eye on the future and use RDA (the next version of AACR) and FRBR (the new approach to organizing your OPAC) terminology wherever it is appropriate.
We'll also delve into some FRBR issues as we make the case for:
·the need for unique citations to identify works
·the need for deciding on primary responsibility for use in unique citations
·the need for uniform titles in unique citations, and how to choose them
Why take this course?
Really good cataloging does not come easily. It takes commitment to details to figure out how to handle some of the trickier cataloging problems that can arise. This workshop will prepare you to tackle them.
