Module 1: Introduction

Assumptions

For this workshop we assume that: Catalogers use national standards:

AACR2, LCRIs, and MARC 21 Catalogers are working in an online

environment Library is not a NACO institution

3

Because they are the standards are the most widely used in the world this workshop assumes that catalogers use of AACR2R and the associated LCRIs as a content standard and MARC 21 authority records. This workshop also assumes you are creating authority records for use in an automated library system. It is important to note that, authority records can be created using other rules, and authority records can be created in non-MARC catalogs, and in both card files and on-line catalogs

This workshop assumes that you are not going to be participating in NACO (the Name Authority Cooperative, through which libraries actually contribute authority records to the LC/NACO Authority File or NAF) We will give you fuller information about the NACO program towards the end of this series of workshops, in case your institution is interested in progressing to the next level of authority control and cooperative cataloging! The NACO program offers excellent training programs for those who want to participate in NACO.
