Class Description:

The Open Education movement brings the need to organize open educational resources (OER) for many libraries, both public and academic. In addition, current library management systems (LMS) provide acceptable metadata for published eBooks, streaming audio, and streaming video, allowing catalogers to focus more on providing access to electronic resources supplied by non-governmental organizations (NGO). This workshop teaches participants how to assess OER and other online resources for cataloging purposes. The focus will be for original cataloging following Original RDA guidelines using MARC 21 Bibliographic encoding, which can also be applied to the construction of a data dictionary for use in institutional repositories. 

NOTE: Basic navigation in the RDA Toolkit will NOT be covered.

Intended audience:

Original and copy catalogers responsible for cataloging online resources

Prerequisites:

• MARC: An Introduction (or working knowledge of MARC)
