Workshop on Organizing and Cataloging Ephemera<br>
March 19, 2008<br>
Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library<br>
<br>
<a name="program"></a>The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library is
offering a full-day workshop, Cataloging and Organizing Ephemera, on
March 19, 2008. This is a revised version of the workshop given at the
48th Annual RBMS Preconference in Baltimore in June, 2007, designed to
provide participants with an understanding of the pre-cataloging
decisions to be made and the relevant factors to consider when cataloging
ephemera. Through presentations, discussion, and hands-on exercises using
a variety of ephemera, the workshop will present various options for
controlling these important materials (item level vs. collection level
treatment; AACR2 vs. DCRM(B); finding aids; digital collections).
Participants will receive a packet of resources for creating
MARC<a name="program"></a> catalog records in accordance with existing
standards and rules.<br>
<br>
Participants should be familiar with AACR2 and have some experience
cataloging special collections materials. Attendance will be limited to
24 participants (with maximum of 2 per institution). There is no
registration fee. Advance registration is required by February 22,
2008.<br><br>
Instructors: Ann Copeland, Penn State University; Ellen Doon, Yale
University; Todd Fell, Yale University; Stephen Skuce, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.<br><br>
