Cataloging: A Crash Course
Saturday, June 13, 2009
 
The catalog is dead; long live the catalog!  Contrary to popular belief,
the catalog is still the backbone of a collection, and if you are not a
cataloger, it takes training and skill to use and manage it effectively.
If you are a beginner cataloger, or a non-cataloger who would like to
understand the principles and practice behind the creation of the
records you search, retrieve and manage, then Kathleen Richardson's
"Cataloging: The Crash Course" is perfect for you!   Learn the
principles and basic tenets of cataloging, including AACR2, the MARC
standard, access points, authority control, OPAC versus staff view and
legacy records.  Resource Access and Description (RDA), the hottest
topic in cataloging right now, will also be discussed.  
 
Ten Things in One Day
Sunday, June 14, 2009
 
Would you like to earn 0.8 CEUs and have a lot of fun while learning how
to bring social networking tools into your professional environment?
Jill Hurst-Wahl and Sophia Guevara will teach 10 Things in One Day;
covering technologies that allow you to connect, share and collaborate
with colleagues and clients, including, those who work remotely from the
library.  
 
Through lectures, discussions and hands-on exercises, participants will
(1) have increased knowledge of how social technologies, can be used in
specific situations; (2) be comfortable discussing social technologies;
(3) be able to use specific social tools for themselves and their
institutions; (4) be able discern which technologies will be most
appropriate for their work environment; and (5) have learned "how to
learn" about social technologies.
 
Note:  This is a hands-on course, so you are required to bring a laptop
or possibly a hand-held device that will allow you to interact with the
applications being taught.  Power strips and the wireless network will
be provided.
 
Both courses run from 8:00am-5:00pm, and include coffee breaks and a
boxed lunch.  The cost is $299 for SLA members and $399 for non-members.

If we are to assess the impact of our libraries, we must engage in
evaluation leading to an understanding of the outcomes of what we do. --
