Getting Started in Rare Books Cataloguing Repeat (September 2021)

Really enjoyed meeting more Irish colleagues at the Library Association of Ireland Cataloguing and Metadata Group’s repeat of Getting Started in Rare Books Cataloguing. It’s always nice to have a reason to use one of the books from the ‘high cupboard’.

Thanks to Patricia Moloney (LAI CMG Secretary) and the rest of the Library Association of Ireland’s Cataloguing and Metadata Group Committee for the opportunity to rerun this training, and to all their hard work in advertising and making it another sell-our event.

Looking forward to meeting more new colleagues from Ireland and beyond tomorrow!

Getting Starting in Rare Books Cataloguing

Thanks to everyone who attended today’s event, and especially to the Library Association Ireland’s Cataloguing and Metadata Group for their brilliant hosting, and for the invitation to deliver the workshop in the first place.

I really hope we have the chance to repeat this one, as we used some of my favourite examples, and I met some lovely colleagues.

Getting Started in Rare Books Cataloguing: one-day workshop with Anne Welsh

Really delighted to have been asked to deliver a one-day online workshop for The Library Association of Ireland’s Cataloguing and Metadata Group on Getting Started in Rare Books Cataloguing.

Course description:

At the end of this one-day bespoke workshop participants will leave having catalogued three rare books and with knowledge of where to seek further information.

This course has been certified by the LAI Continuing Professional Development Committee. Certificates of attendance will be issued to attendees.

This online workshop will take place over Zoom. Participants will have to be able to switch between Zoom and other applications, especially to read PDF documents; for this reason joining by tablet (such as iPad) is not recommended.

Please note that the majority of the places are reserved for current members of the Library Association of Ireland (LAI) at a discounted price. (Membership will be verified). In addition, a small number of places will be available to current LIS students/unwaged at a nominal price. See tickets for further details.

The three books we will catalogue represent three common periods held by many special collections:

  • One Early Modern book
  • One 18th century book
  • One modern (post-1950) book with features that make rare book cataloguing appropriate.

Model answers will be provided in:

  • DCRM(B) in MARC
  • RDA in MARC
  • AACR2 in MARC

A month before the training, you will receive four PDFs:

  • an introductory reading list
  • a summary of the relevant MARC fields we’ll be using on the day
  • ‘The vocabulary of rare books’ – a basic glossary of common terms
  • a list of useful online sources

You don’t have to read anything in advance, but for those who do like to read ahead, these will be useful resources.

Full details and registration on LAI CMG’s eventbrite page.
