INTRODUCTION TO MARC
        It is not only Catalogers who need to know about the MARC format
these days.
        This workshop is for everyone who works in a library, from
volunteers to directors. Reference people, ILL people, acquisitions people,
administrators and anyone else who needs to know just a little about MARC
should attend.
        Learn how to read a MARC record, and how to tell if some of the
most important elements of the record are correct, e.g., whether the title
is indexed.

Audience:       para-professional & professional staff from ANY library
dept.
Date:           January 10, 1996

MARC CATALOGING: TRICKY BOOKS

        This 1-day workshop takes us one step further than the 3-day Book
Blitz, to apply the AACR cataloging rules and USMARC formatting standards
to more difficult books.
        The main purpose of this workshop is to teach you how to use the
tools to find the answers to tricky problems. Bring your own problem books
and we will figure out the answers together. Please send your examples to
Deborah Fritz at least one week before the workshop so that they can be
photocopied for other participants.

Audience:       Catalogers
Date:           January 17, 1996

MARC CATALOGING: COMPUTER FILES
        This 2-day workshop takes all the principles that have been taught
in earlier workshops about cataloging in MARC, and applies those principles
to the peculiarities of cataloging computer files. We are not covering
online computer files, at this time. If you plan to take the workshop on
Interactive multimedia when it is offered, then you should definitely take
this one first.
