Your cataloging question is difficult to answer. When I started cataloging
in a media center, in a private school, I had never cataloged in MARC. It
was a nightmare. Please understand the rudiments of MARC before attempting
to catalog. Even then, copy catalog only. Otherwise, when you do learn
cataloging, you will be humiliated by all the errors you made. At least, I
was. My errors occurred in 1995-1997. I have been correcting them ever since
when I bump into them. I took some cataloging courses through a library
network to which my school belongs before I received my MLS. I received it
on 12/15/01. Am still cataloging and using "Bookware", a wonderfully useful
tool to download records into my library program, and download records to
copy from Worldcat (my local public library permits its constitutents to
access worldcat from home, etc.).
Good luck!!
