</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">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 are then given practical
grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of
subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. 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 FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at
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.</p>
