Do you want to understand what current cataloging instructions say about recording titles and variant titles of books and motion pictures (DVDs)? Do you find the title page, cover title, or title screen confusing? It can be difficult to identify the elements of the title, the title proper, part of title, or parallel title-- you are not alone! Two experienced catalogers and cataloging trainers will guide you in distinguishing the title and title variants for the catalog record. They will share a variety of confusing book and DVD titles, with best cataloging practices. They will also share some best practices for adapting records to your local catalog! An understanding of MARC is required. Examples will be given in MARC and OPAC views. Some understanding of RDA instructions would be helpful for attendees, but is not required. This presentation is geared mainly to public library catalogers, but all catalogers are welcome. Cataloging examples will also be shared separately.  

(No need to travel to the Indiana State Library, you can attend from the comfort of your own library!)
