Build your cataloging career on a solid foundation

A house is only as strong as its foundation and the same is true of a cataloger’s skill set. It’s best to be thoroughly schooled in the language and fundamentals of cataloging before moving on to more advanced work.  

To help you master these essential cataloging elements, we are offering two new courses: MARC 21 in Your Library and Just for Copy Cats. Both are designed to enhance your basic skill set and prepare you to participate in increasingly responsible levels of cataloging.
