Cataloguing with Confidence

Thursday 30th June 2022, 10:00 until 16:30

CILIP London Regional Network in collaboration with CPD25 are pleased to announce a cataloguing workshop where attendees will learn about the theory underpinning current cataloguing standards (AACR2, MARC21, RDA) and gain practical knowledge in cataloguing. The focus will be on developing your cataloguing skills with practical, hands-on sessions using hard copy print books.

The workshop is aimed at those with a basic knowledge or some prior experience of cataloguing, who want to develop their knowledge of RDA, AACR2, MARC fields and practical cataloguing in general. This session will provide attendees with the necessary resources and rules to catalogue books confidently in their workplace.

This will be a full-day face-to-face event, held at CILIP HQ in central London, with refreshments and lunch included. Attendees are pleased asked to bring their own laptops, if they can.
