The Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop provides the basic principles of serials cataloging for original and copy cataloging for print serials. It focuses on the elements contained in the CONSER standard record (CSR), including appropriate MARC 21 tagging, as well as problem-solving and decision-making relative to serials cataloging. It does not provide instructions for the MARC 21 format for holding data, advanced serials cataloging, or cataloging of electronic and special kinds of serials. This workshop is designed for those new to serials: beginning serials catalogers and technicians and monograph catalogers working with serials.
