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:
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:
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.
