A one-day cataloguing workshop led by Debbie Lee (@debbieleecat)

This optional event is for current CityLIS students, to complement the INM303 lectures. The workshop is an intensive introduction to practical cataloguing using RDA and MARC21. You will learn about the most important elements of bibliographic description, and have an opportunity to practice these individually, before creating actual (mini) catalogue records at the end of the workshop. Though the workshop focusses on cataloguing books, the ideas and techniques are applicable to other types of resources. There will even be biscuits, in order to aid the cataloguing!

Practical information:

1) It will be useful to bring a laptop/tablet if you have one, so that you can access the RDA Toolkit.

2) Please make sure you already have access to WIFI/Eduroam on your device *before* the workshop, as sometimes it can be time-consuming to set this up on the day - see http://www.city.ac.uk/wifi.

3) You will be asked to bring a few of your own books with you to catalogue during the workshop. More details will be provided nearer the time.

Hope to see you there!
