Cataloging Course at MCTC

Minneapolis Community and Technical College is offering INFS 2200 Introduction to Cataloging, a 3-credit course, Spring 2007. Classes meet on Wednesday evenings, from 5-7:45 p.m., beginning January 16 through May 7.

This course is a good course for:
* Librarians and paraprofessionals new to cataloging
* Librarians and paraprofessionals who would like a refresher
* Librarians and paraprofessionals who have been cataloging for some time, but would like more formal training.

This course provides a basic overview of descriptive and subject cataloging, using appropriate tools. While we're using AACR2 as our primary model for description, we'll be introducing concepts brought forward in RDA as well. Students will work with OCLC's Connexion browser, building familiarity with that tool.

This course can be taken by non-degree seeking students, and can be audited or taken for a grade.
