Demystifying Map Cataloguing: a One Day Hands-OnWorkshop
Wednesday, February 1st, 2006
Ryerson University
Toronto, Ontario
We invite you to attend a workshop entitled Demystifying Map Cataloguing,
organized by the Bibliographic Control Committee of the Association of
Canadian Map Libraries and Archives and the Technical Services Interest
Group of the Canadian Library Association. This workshop will be held
February 1st, 2006 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Library at Ryerson
University (room LIB 386c). For location of Ryerson see:
http://www.ryerson.ca/map/ or http://www.ryerson.ca/map/campusmap.html
The purpose of this introductory workshop is to provide a starting point
for those cataloguers who want to learn about cataloguing cartographic
materials. Take your basic knowledge of cataloguing and learn where maps
and other cartographic materials differ but also fit in. For those map
cataloguers who may already have the basics, this workshop will serve as a
refresher, and will touch upon some of the more complex topics such as
facsimiles and series.
The skills to be taught include descriptive cataloguing (focusing on
titles/choice of title, mathematical data, and physical description
components), subject analysis, classification, facsimiles and series.
A segment of the workshop will focus on AMICUS, the database of Library and
Archives Canada. AMICUS contains vast numbers of records for cartographic
materials. This session will cover effective strategies for searching
these records.
The emphasis will be on print sheet maps with some comparison with atlases.
Audience:
This workshop is intended for cataloguers who have some cataloguing
experience. Basic knowledge of AACR2R and the MARC21 bibliographic
standard is required.
