CAN YOUR PATRONS ACTUALLY FIND WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR?
This course gives public library workers a practical, approachable introduction to cataloging so that your collection is organized, accessible, and actually findable. ABOUT THIS COURSEGood cataloging is the difference between a collection patrons can use and one they can't. Self-Paced Course Materials You don't need to be a cataloging expert to catalog well, you just need the right foundation. In this course, you'll learn cataloging basics tailored to the realities of public library work, including how to apply common methods like MARC and Library of Congress classification in practical, everyday contexts. You'll explore how to organize your collection in ways that make sense for your patrons, troubleshoot common cataloging challenges, and build the confidence to handle materials that don't fit neatly into a standard category. By the end, cataloging will feel less like a mystery and more like a tool you actually know how to use. This is a fully self-paced, asynchronous course. You will have six months to move through the material. For more details, check out the What to Expect tab. Need an invoice or PO? Orders of $600 or greater can choose invoice at checkout.
