SCT Task Group to Update Integrating Resources Documentation and Training Materials

Rationale

Forthcoming changes to AACR2 (the 2004 revisions), as well as comments gleaned from trainers and working catalogers using the materials, suggest that the Integrating Resources documentation and training materials be examined and revised. At the BIBCO Operations Committee meeting in May 2004, the Standing Committee on Training Chair offered to form a group to accomplish the review.

The Task Group is charged to:

• Assess the current Integrating Resources documentation and training materials, taking into account
  • Changes to AACR2 outlined in the 2004 amendments
  • Comments and feedback received from trainers and catalogers, which include questions about MARC coding practices, revisions to examples, further clarification about links, uniformity in the wording of notes, and providing an index to the training materials
• Recommend to the Standing Committee on Training revisions to those documents

The group should begin as soon as is feasible and complete its work by November 30, 2004.
