$250.00
Dates: February 3 - March 2August 4 - August 31
Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
This course is designed to help those with basic cataloging experience become comfortable cataloging more challenging formats. Participants will learn how to catalog motion pictures on DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and streaming formats in RDA and MARC through lots of hands-on practice including learning to identify the preferred sources of information to use when determining titles and statements of responsibility, how to handle multiple production companies, distributors, and dates frequently found on these resources, how to determine authorized and variant access points, and how to create accurate physical descriptions that reflect new fields added under RDA.
Participants will also learn the primary differences between RDA and AACR2 for audiovisual resources so that they can effectively copy catalog and enrich existing records.
Course Objectives:
- Understand how cataloging audiovisual resources differs from cataloging other formats.
- Learn how to use and format all necessary fixed and variable fields to create full MARC records for DVDs, Blu-ray, and Streaming video resources.
- Understand the challenges in classifying audiovisual resources and the most common ways to address these challenges
- Be familiar with frequently applied Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) for audiovisual resources.
This course can be taken as one of eight courses needed to earn our Certificate in Cataloging and Technical Services, but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well.

I took Natalie’s class on Cataloging DVDs recently, and I loved it! Natalie provides excellent examples and exercises for training in this area. I am telling my colleagues to take her class! Thanks, Natalie! I can’t wait to take more courses with you.
