Event info
Title: Competent Cataloging: Wayfinding for Beginners
Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Time: 3 p.m. EST
Location: Zoom

Description:
Library workers find themselves cataloging for all sorts of reasons. For some, cataloging is simply one aspect of their position, while others chose to specialize in cataloging. Increasingly though, library leaders are reassigning cataloging responsibilities in response to staffing reductions, and the learning curve is steep. This webinar provides resources for anyone getting started (or restarted) with cataloging. A foundational premise for this webinar is the notion that “good enough” IS good enough and that levels of cataloging service may be tiered, granting busy library workers autonomy over finding what’s “good enough” to serve their library’s patrons.

After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
· Identify standards, best practices, and resources to aid in the creation of accurate and consistent bibliographic records.
· Utilize professional networks and communication fora to find answers to difficult cataloging situations.
· Articulate a tiered cataloging service that satisfies patrons’ needs and suits the resources available at your institution.

Advance registration is required The webinar will be recorded.
