CHICAGO — 91´«Ã½ Editions announces an exciting new workshop, with Susan Moore. This workshop will last 90 minutes and take place at 2:30 Eastern on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2015.

The flexibility of RDA: Resource Description and Access facilitates the cataloging of myriad unique types of library materials, including maps and cartographic resources. In this workshop, Susan Moore, a cataloger who teaches about the specific challenges of cataloging cartographic resources, will teach you the basics of creating a bibliographic record for a sheet map using RDA. Particular emphasis will be given to selecting a title, calculating scale, recording coordinates, measuring maps and filling out the 336, 337 and 338 MARC fields. This workshop will give you a solid foundation in the cataloging skills needed to provide information in bibliographic records for cartographic resources using RDA.

After participating in this event, you will:

• be able to correctly select the title of a map;
• know how to determine the scale of a map and record it correctly;
• be able to determine the coordinates of a map and record them correctly;
• have a listing of the common 336, 337, and 338 data elements for maps.
