Basic Cataloguing for Non-Cataloguers In-Person

This workshop will introduce participants to the principles and practices that form the foundation of cataloguing. This workshop will answer such questions as: 

  • What is cataloguing?
  • What is the purpose of the catalogue?
  • How does one ensure that the descriptive record of a library item actually enables users to find what they are looking for? 

Through hands-on exercises, participants will learn to apply cataloguing principles to a variety of examples. Participants will also learn how to locate the standards that guide specific aspects of cataloguing. 

This workshop complements the workshop Cataloguing with Sirsi. 

Should you fail to withdraw 48+ hours in advance, thereby preventing your colleagues on the waitlist from filling in your spot, your library account will be charged $10 per missed workshop.  Please note, it is your responsibility to sign next to your name on the attendance sheet for each workshop session.  A blank signature spot will result in a penalty charge.
