Course description
Really good cataloging doesn't come easily. It takes commitment to details to handle some of the trickier cataloging problems that can arise. In Book Blitz I we cover the easy rules. In this workshop, Book Blitz II, we move on to some of the more complex cataloging rules, the ones that make people frown.
Although the examples in this workshop are all for books, the rules that are covered can be applied to all types of materials. However, this workshop does not cover subject headings, classification, or specific details on cataloging non-print materials.
Attendees are advised that they will be expected to have attended Book Blitz I before coming to this workshop.
