Core Web Course: Fundamentals of Cataloging
Description:
This 6-week online course is a basic primer for library cataloging concepts
and practices. It introduces:
-
principles underlying cataloging practice;
-
examples illustrating the principles in practice;
-
tools used in cataloging practice such as AACR2, RDA, Library of
Congress Subject Headings, Library of Congress Classification, MARC, OCLC,
BIBFRAME;
-
processes used by catalogers in creating bibliographic records.
Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) begins with a discussion of how cataloging
assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of
practice. These foundations provide the grounding in the work of creating
bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and utilizing
classification numbers. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority
formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress
Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based
cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the IFLA-LRM
(Library Reference Model) to the RDA practical application, and an
introduction to RDF triples and BIBFRAME. In all areas, the value of
standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on
examples from actual practice throughout the course content.
