An in-depth course on the rules and practices applied to original cataloging of serials. While the course focuses on printed serials, the instructions are applicable to serials in any format.
This workshop is designed for catalogers who perform original cataloging of serials in any format or extensive editing of copy. Attendees should have some experience with original cataloging of serials or copy cataloging or at least have taken the Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop.

Course topics include:

What is a serial in the revised scope of AACR2 and how do serials compare to monographs and integrating resources

An area-by-area approach to the cataloging of serials, including some of the more complex aspects: uniform titles, links, designations, and title transcription

Cataloging of special kinds of serials: supplements, cumulations, reprints, microform reproductions, and conference publications

Major and minor changes, particularly what constitutes a major title change in the revised rules

Discussion of how serial records are used in libraries and displayed in library OPACs

The course is a two-day workshop combining lecture with exercises and time for questions, answers and discussion, designed for beginning serials cataloguers and other library staff.

Instructor:

• Marguerite (Maggie) Horn is Library Systems Implementation Specialist at the SUNY Office of Library and Information Services. She has over 30 years experience as a serials cataloguer and has worked as a trainer for SCCTP (Serials Cataloguing Cooperative Training Program) since inception.
