Announcement: OCLC Institute "Cataloging Internet Resources" Ve rsion 2 Now Available

[Lytle,Amy]

[Cross-posted.  Please forward as appropriate.]

The Web-based distance-learning course, "Cataloging Internet Resources Using
MARC 21 and AACR2," version 2, revised and expanded, is now available from
the OCLC Institute.

The course has been completely updated to include recent AACR2 rule
revisions for Chapter 9, and NOW  INCLUDES INSTRUCTION IN CATALOGING
ELECTRONIC SERIALS.

"Cataloging Internet Resources" covers the MARC 21 fields and subfields and
related AACR2 rules necessary for creating complete and accurate
bibliographic records for Internet resources.  Each lesson includes learning
objectives, quizzes, and tests to help students assess their own self-paced
learning.  Instruction is based upon a wide range of real-world examples,
and each lesson provides direct online access to supporting standards and
documentation.

The course designers and developers have created a comprehensive online
learning experience for anyone who wants to use MARC/AACR2 systems,
standards, and practices to describe, access, and otherwise manage
electronic resources.

One-year subscriptions and 24/7 access provide ample time for learning,
mastery, and even using the course for desk-top ready reference.  Multiple
seat licenses, available at reduced cost, enable libraries to bring this
knowledge to all critical staff.  Students access the course via the Web,
and no plug-ins are necessary.

"Cataloging Internet Resources" is jointly developed by Steve Miller,
University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee; Amigos Library Services, Inc., NELINET,
SOLINET, and the OCLC Institute.
