To PCC libraries contributing NACO series authority records, and to NACO
libraries who wish to contribute SARs,
PCC Series training has undergone substantial updating in the past
year. Here is a recap of the training opportunities for our series
contributors.
Training options:
1. Training sessions offered by PCC instructors onsite or at LC--you
may ask for a trainer to visit you or you may attend series training at
LC, usually done on a yearly basis in the fall.
2. Training sessions conducted internally--institutions with an
experienced, independent series authority cataloger may use PCC series
training materials to train colleagues.
Resources:
In the October 2003, Judy Kuhagen (LC, CPSO), trained the first set of
PCC Series trainers, following the model used for other programs to
spread the training responsibilities among skilled instructors from our
PCC partner libraries. The trainers' names may be found at:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/series/trainerslist.html
Series training materials created for the October 2003 sessions have
been revised recently. Libraries who wish to use the trainee manuals
will find PDF files on a web page, protected by a password. Answers for
exercises appear in Appendices H-I. You may request the passwords for
these documents as instructed, and print copies as needed. The series
web site is:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/serieshp.html
In addition, PowerPoint slides may be used for internal training
sessions. These slides include trainers's notes. There is a separate
password for these materials:

We encourage PCC partners to make use of these and other training
resources.
