Description:
Catalogers
and technical services departments are now fully immersed in training for
Resource Description and Access. While some libraries may have resources to
bring in external trainers, many organizations are taking on the training
challenge in-house. Do you have the necessary training skills and creative
techniques to overcome challenges related to your organization’s training and
preparation for RDA? Come and share your experiences and swap ideas with others
managing or participating in their organization’s RDA training efforts.
The e-forum will cover the training needs for those performing original and
copy cataloging, as well as those who handle and create records outside of
cataloging departments. Topics will include: deciding which staff positions
need what level of RDA training, creating/customizing training materials and
documentation, identifying in-house trainers, balancing strain on personnel
(both in terms of time and expertise), and evaluating results.
Presenters:
Jennifer Erica Sweda, MS, LIS (UIUC); MLA
(UPenn), has been Social Sciences Cataloging Librarian for the University of
Pennsylvania Libraries (Philadelphia, Pa.), for almost 20 years. She
contributes bibliographic (BIBCO) and name/subject authority (NACO/SACO)
records through LC’s Program for Cooperative Cataloging, and is a trainer for
LC’s Basic Subject Cataloging Using Library of Congress Subject Headings
workshop. She has presented research at the American Library Association and
Association for Information Science and Technology conferences, and has
contributed an article to Radical Cataloging: Essays at the Front (ed. K.R.
Roberto). Her professional interests have grown to include teaching and
training (both inside and outside of libraries) and she is currently
coordinating Penn Libraries’ RDA training efforts.
Dr. Sylvia D. Hall-Ellis, MLS (North Texas), PhD (Pittsburgh)
has been teaching cataloging for more than 15 years. A member of
professional organizations and listed in several editions of regional and
national bibliographic volumes, she is active in ALCTS and served as a voting
member of CC:DA for four years. Her research focus is competencies and
technical skills for catalogers. She has published numerous technical reports,
articles, and five monographs and has conducted major field-based research
studies. She has more than 40 years of experience working in libraries as
an administrator, development officer and project manager. Dr. Hall-Ellis is
the Senior Grants Administrator for the Morgridge College of Education at the
University of Denver.
What is an
e-forum? An ALCTS
e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest,
led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion
list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list,
and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants
through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration
is necessary to participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at: http://bit.ly/upcomingeforum.

Instructions for
registration are available at: http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you do not
need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email list. Participation
is free and open to anyone.
