[DCRM-L] WORKSHOP-Organizing and Cataloging Ephemera

[Todd Fell]

Workshop on Organizing and Cataloging Ephemera
March 19, 2008
Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library

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 catalog records in accordance with existing standards and rules.

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.

Instructors: Ann Copeland, Penn State University; Ellen Doon, Yale 
University; Todd Fell, Yale University; Stephen Skuce, Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology.
