Really good cataloging does not come easily. It takes commitment to details to figure out how to handle some of the trickier cataloging problems that can arise. Book Blitz I covered the easy rules, but in Book Blitz II, be prepared for the more complex cataloging rules! Once you are comfortable with finding your way around the basic cataloging tools--the Anglo American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2R), Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRI), and the MARC coding standards (MARC21)--you will be ready to tackle the harder stuff, for example: * Parallel titles * Part titles * Confusing statements of responsibility * Collections * More on series * More on personal name, corporate, conference, and uniform title headings * Verifying name and title headings against the LC Authority files Recommended prerequisites: Book Blitz I or equivalent knowledge of cataloging rules before coming to this workshop.
