The OCLC Institute together with co-developers Steven Miller, Amigos Library
Services, NELINET, and SOLINET, have made available "Cataloging Internet
Resources Using MARC 21 and AACR2," the first course offering in the OCLC
Online Library Learning series
(http://www.oclc.org/institute/oll/index.htm).

This Web-based course provides easy, 24-hour access to an important body of
knowledge for libraries today.  Designed for self-paced and self-directed
study, the course covers current cataloging rules and MARC fields that are
essential for libraries to provide efficient, effective, and uniform
description and access for selected Internet resources using traditional
standards and practices.  (A module on cataloging serials is forthcoming.)

Each of the course's 28 interactive lessons contains learning objectives,
instructional materials, real-world examples, and quizzes and tests that
provide immediate feedback. All you need to use the course is a Web browser.


After taking this course you will know:

* How cataloging Internet resources compares with monographic cataloging

* How to record title and statement of responsibility including title
proper, GMD, additional title information, statement of responsibility, and

All lessons provide references and links to authoritative documentation and
standards.
