Surprise! You're a Cataloger.

Have you found yourself responsible for cataloging with little or no previous experience? Is "cataloger" only one of many hats you wear at your library? This session will help you get started. Teressa Keenan will cover the basics of cataloging (focusing on books), what information you need to include, where to get that information, and how to format it in MARC21.

Teressa will also include some tips & free tools to make your life easier and get your library’s materials out to your users!

If you're interested but not able to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the fact.
