NACO Series InstitutesThe Program for Cooperative Cataloging periodically presents a three-day Series Institute for NACO libraries at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.* Catalogers from the Library of Congress and/or PCC institutions will serve as instructors. Prerequisites: The Institute is open to experienced NACO catalogers at independent NACO libraries. Because of the need to support series with cross references, qualifiers, etc., solid NACO skills are a prerequisite for series training which cannot be waived. Course summary: This course will focus on the relevant chapters of AACR2, the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations, the MARC21 Authority Format, and searching techniques for series.
Prior to the workshop attendees will receive a document with required advanced reading in AACR2, the LCRIs, and MARC21 guidelines. Each participant must print out the electronic files for training materials which appear on the PCC Series Training Website. These files comprise the training manual which should be brought to the class. Passwords to access these files will be sent to each registrant at least three weeks in advance of the training. At the end of the course, participants will undergo review until they reach independence for contributing series authority records to the Library of Congress/NACO Authority File. Institutions with previous graduates of the series institute are expected to perform review for the new series trainees they send. In addition, Series Institute graduates are encouraged to train colleagues in their home institutions to contribute SARs. Schedule: Classes will be held at the Library of Congress on a Monday-Wednesday schedule and will be held in the Adams Building, Room LA100. They will start at 8:45 A.M. and finish at 4:30 P.M. each day of the three-day course. Participants coming from a distance will need to arrive the day before to take full advantage of the class.
