CHICAGO — 91´«Ã½ Publishing eLearning, in partnership with Music Library Association, announces a new workshop with Dr. Sonia Archer-Capuzzo and Mary Huismann. This workshop will last 90 minutes and take place at 2:30 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015.

The world of music cataloging is often puzzling to catalogers that have no music background or experience. In this workshop, Sonia Archer-Capuzzo and Mary Huismann will put the puzzle pieces in place by covering the basics of music cataloging using the current RDA: Resource Description and Access and MARC21 standards. This workshop is designed for those with cataloging experience who are approaching cataloging of music materials for the first time.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about topics such as:

• basic music information and concepts;
• MARC tags for music;
• searching OCLC and determining the best record in OCLC;
• brief introduction to music subject and genre/form headings;
• brief introduction to music preferred titles;
• numbers (publisher numbers and how they are used);
• dates (types of dates found and their significance, and what to do when there is no date).
