[Libs-Or] OCLC Western's Marc 21 in Your Library and Just for Copy Cats--Coming to Portland and San Mateo

[Western]

> Due to an overwhelming demand, OCLC Western is offering the popular
> cataloging classes-Marc 21 in Your Library and Just for Copy Cats-in
> two new locations: Portland, Oregon, and San Mateo, California. Both
> courses will be presented in comprehensive sessions that are designed
> to support and enhance basic cataloging skill sets.
> 
> Build your cataloging career on a solid foundation
> A house is only as strong as its foundation and the same is true of a
> cataloger's skill set. It's best to be thoroughly schooled in the
> language and fundamentals of cataloging before moving on to more
> advanced work. 
> To help you master these essential cataloging elements, we are
> offering two new courses: MARC 21 in Your Library and Just for Copy
> Cats. Both are designed to enhance your basic skill set and prepare
> you to participate in increasingly responsible levels of cataloging.
> 
> MARC 21 in Your Library
> MARC 21 in Your Library is an introduction to all things MARC. It
> defines what the coding standard is and clarifies how it ties in with
> our cataloging rules to work in your library's catalog. Upon
> completion of the course, you should be able to read a MARC record,
> speak the MARC language, and understand how errors in MARC coding
> affect an OPAC. 
> This one-day, in-person class is not only intended for beginning
> catalogers; it also has appeal to a broader audience of library
> professionals. Acquisitions people, managers, even library directors,
> could also benefit from this class. Aside from understanding the basis
> of the records that form the backbone of library information systems,
> it will also provide them with the ability to communicate more
> effectively with the folks in and around their institution who already
> "speak MARC."

> Just for Copy Cats
> Just for Copy Cats is a two-day, in-person, basic introduction to copy
> cataloging, which primarily covers four subject areas: finding
> cataloging records you can copy; some of the challenges of doing so;
> some of the neglected database issues involved; and a brief look at
> important editing. Upon completion of this course, you should be able
> to find and copy book records that accurately reflect your items. 
> For a beginning cataloger, this workshop is the second step in your
> journey to excellence (your first step should be MARC21 in Your
> Library). A more experienced copy cataloger might also benefit from
> the course, finding nuggets of new information previously
> undiscovered.
