Through lectures, visual aids, and in-class exercises, workshop participants will be introduced to and gain some practical experience in using Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) (DCRM(B)). We will focus on the descriptive portions of the bibliographic record, following the scope of DCRM(B), with special emphasis on the changes from Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books (DCRB). The workshop is suitable for those with working cataloging experience who wish to be introduced to rare book cataloging, as well as for those experienced in DCRB who wish to be trained in DCRM(B). Participants should have working experience in MARC AACR2 cataloging, and must bring a hard copy of DCRM(B).
