Cataloguing 2 - March 9

Just in case anyone is interested here are a few of the main things we did today (definitely _not_ a comprehensive record) ...

We started looking at MARC and did Self Help Exercises 1 & 2. There are notes in the materials (have a look around p 28 - there are different page numbers in different versions).

Main website

The main website to look at for today's class was the Library of Congress page: MARC 21 format for bibliographic data. You can either use that link to go directly there, or go to http://www.loc.gov/marc then click on the Bibliographic link (on the left under the heading 'MARC formats').


This links you to the pages you need to look at to do Self Help Exercises 1 & 2 (which we worked on in class).

Other things
We had a look at:
* metadata (and some webpages - see sites listed in the materials)
* Dublin Core elements
* Getty elements
