Event Description
What is a MARC record, and more importantly, what is a good MARC record? Whether you’re vetting vendor-supplied records, copy cataloging, or creating original records, you will get something out of this webinar. We’ll take a quick tour of the MARC bibliographic format, explaining some of the fields that are important for a functional catalog. Then we’ll tackle some of the most frequent asked questions about cataloging: How many subject headings should a record have? Do we need contents and summary notes? What about series?
