The course provides guidance to catalogers who may be responsible for cataloging integrating resources of all types, with an emphasis on remote access electronic integrating resources. The workshop covers AACR2 cataloging rules from chapters 9 and 12 and the recent implementation of Bibliographic Level code i in OCLC. The sessions include an introduction to integrating resources and their identification, instructions for originally cataloging updating Web sites and databases, making changes to existing records, and case studies covering more difficult aspects of cataloging electronic integrating resources. SCCTP: This workshop is part of the Library of Congress Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program (SCCTP), which provides standardized training materials and trained trainers in the field of continuing resources. For further information, see: http://www.loc.gov/acq/conser/scctp/ Online learning: This is an asynchronous type of online learning workshop. Participants will receive a password to a workshop web site, which includes content documents, discussion forums, and an area for submitting exercises. Interaction with the instructor and other participants takes place through listserv-like discussion forums internal to the course web site. There will be no real-time sessions during which everyone must be online at the same time. The workshop will be structured into units with a set of deadlines for submitting exercises once or twice per week. Within that framework participants may work through the content at whatever pace, location, and time of day they wish. Discussion of content and exercises is ongoing throughout the four weeks. After exercises have been submitted, the instructor will provide feedback on them. The workshop should take participants approximately 4-6 hours per week. Upon completion of the workshop, each person will receive a certificate in PDF format for printing.
