Book Blitz III

Register for upcoming sessions of this course

Prerequisites

Book Blitz I and Book Blitz II, or equivalent training and experience.

Course description

Picking up where Book Blitz II left off, this workshop returns to the description issues that are harder to resolve (such as dates, publishers, editions and series problems) and digs deeper into access topics (more on trickier personal names, subordinate corporate bodies, conference names and uniform titles). At the conclusion of this workshop, you should feel even more confident about editing or creating the description and access elements of difficult records.
