This
workshop is intended for rare materials catalogers with little
or no
familiarity with Latin. The workshop will provide tools for
navigating the
title page, identifying the key verbs and inflected forms of
nouns for persons,
places, and things, in order to accurately record title and
remainder of title
information, author(s) and other names, editions, publication
information, and
privilege statements (i.e. DCRM(B)/AACR2 descriptive areas 1,
2, and 4), and
any related notes. Among the issues addressed will be
identifying and expanding
contracted forms, Latin terminology used for illustrations and
publishing, and
other issues unique to Latin materials.
