This course will be taught by Steven C. Shadle of the University of Washington Library and provides the basic principles of serials cataloging for original and copy cataloging for print serials. The course 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.

The course does not provide instructions for the MARC 21 format for holding data, advanced serials cataloging, or cataloging of electronic and special kinds of serials.

All materials are based on the CONSER standard record documentation, CONSER Editing Guide, and CONSER Cataloging Manuel.

Audience
The course is designed for those new to serials: beginning serials catalogers and technicians and monograph catalogers working with serials.



The Advanced Serials Cataloging Workshop will be taught by Steven C. Shadle of the University of Washington Library and is an in-depth course on the rules and practices applied to original cataloging of serials. However, there are no specific instructions for electronic serials included in this workshop. While the course focuses on printed serials, the instructions are applicable to serials in any format. Course topics include: What is a serial in the revised scope of AACR2 and how do serials compare to monographs and integrating resources. An area-by-area approach to the cataloging of serials, including some of the more complex aspects: uniform titles, links, designations, and title transcription. Cataloging of special kinds of serials: supplements, commutations, reprints, micro-form reproductions, and conference publications. Major and minor changes, particularly what constitutes a major title change in the revised rules Discussion of how serial records are used in libraries and displayed in library OPACs.

Audience
The course is designed for people who have taken at least the Basic Serials Cataloging Workshop or who have been active serial catalogers for more than one year and are familiar with MARC serials tagging and fundamental approaches to serials cataloging. While attendees who do not have this background in serials may find parts of the workshop useful, the instructors do not have sufficient time to review basic cataloging.

Continuing Education Credit
I have heard from Deborah Mole at the UAA library about the definite possibility of continuing education credit for the two workshops and am now waiting for a response from Steven C. Shadle.

Travel Funding
Funds are available to cover your travel expenses; travel funding covers the transportation cost of getting your to the class location but will not cover lodging or food.

Miscellaneous
There is no required text for these workshops. Please bring pens or pencils to write with and paper for taking notes. There will be an evaluation form to complete on the final day of the workshop.


(Special thanks go to Jude Baldwin for providing me with an excellent model for organizing this grant and the travel reimbursement !) The Interlibrary Cooperation Grant that is funding these workshops will also cover transportation costs to get to the class location. Travel expenses include: driving mileage reimbursement, airfare, taxi fare and parking. The grant does not cover the cost of food or lodging. If you are interested in applying for travel funding, please read the following information carefully.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Travel funds will be reimbursed; in other words you must pay for your travel to the class(es) and then request to be reimbursed for the amount you paid. Getting to the class location is your responsibility. In order to be reimbursed you must attend the class (es) you signed up for in their entirety, therefore you will be reimbursed for your expenses after the classes take place. To receive travel reimbursement, please follow these steps:

STEP 1: Determine whether you are driving or flying. To be reimbursed you must travel by the most inexpensive method possible. Only people living further than 50 miles from the workshop location can apply for reimbursement. For those on the road system, determine whether driving or flying is the cheaper option. The driving reimbursement rate is 50.5 cents (or $.505) per mile. There is no separate reimbursement for gas purchases. To figure out the cost of driving, multiply the round-trip mileage by the reimbursement rate. For example driving from Fairbanks to Anchorage is approximately 359 miles or 718 miles round-trip. To figure out the cost of driving, multiply 718 miles x .505 dollars/mile =$362.59. Presently, Alaska Airlines is charging $277.70 for round-trip airfare between Fairbanks and Anchorage. Since it is cheaper to fly than drive, you should purchase a plane ticket.

If you do not live on the road system skip Step 1.

STEP 2: Apply for travel funds. The grant has a limited travel budget .Travel expense requests will be awarded in the order in which they are received until the grant funds run are gone.

Before you purchase a plane ticket or count on driving reimbursement, contact Julie Niederhauser (see contact information below) with an on your ticket price or the number of miles you will be driving. If you are flying contact the airline you will be using to obtain an estimate of the actual costs. Julie will give you a confirmation reply within 1 or 2 working days, confirming that your travel costs will be reimbursed. Without this confirmation you might not be reimbursed for your travel expenses.

STEP 3: Make your travel arrangements.
After you have received confirmation that your travel expenses will be covered by the grant, go ahead and make your own travel arrangements. You must purchase your own airline tickets. Remember, when purchasing your airfare, you must purchase the most inexpensive tickets available. Remember to keep your receipts!

STEP 4: Turn in your travel receipts. To be reimbursed you must complete an Alaska Library Association Expense Claim Form (pdf) and turn in your original travel receipts. Photocopies, fax copies, or scanned copies of receipts will not be accepted. If you are being reimbursed for driving mileage you can keep track of your vehicle odometer or you can calculate mileage using MapQuest, etc. this information is entered on the expense form and no other receipt is required.

Receipts and expense forms can be turned in at the workshop or you can mail them to Julie Niederhauser at the address below.

Travel reimbursement must be turned by June 30, 2010. Receipts turned in after this date will not be reimbursed. It is your responsibility to turn receipts in on time in order to be reimbursed.
AKLA Handbook-Forms

STEP 5: Wait for your reimbursement check. Once your form and receipts have been received, Catherine Powers, AkLA Treasurer will mail you a reimbursement check for your expenses. Reimbursement checks will not be mailed out until after the workshops take place.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
