There Are No Cataloging Police (aka Cataloging for the non-cataloger), Part 2

Tuesday April 14, 2026 4:30pm - 5:30pm CDT

Houston

Have you been given cataloging duties? Not sure where to start? Does reading the rules feel like a Choose Your Own Adventure? In part 1 we dived into cataloging history & theory. Now, in part 2 we look at applying what we talked about, including a closer look at common MARC fields, thinking about when to 'break the rules,' and ideas on how to best serve your users.

Hi! I've been a cataloger for over 20 years in both public and academic libraries. I'm passionate about making our catalogs work for our patrons and while this may mean something different at each institution, I strongly believe the end product should be useful!
