This webinar is intended for catalogers who have little or no experience with rare and unique maps but who nonetheless find themselves faced with a rare or unique map to catalog. The presenter will share general principles, best practices, and tips for cataloging special collections maps. At the end of the webinar, attendees should be able to identify content standards and best practices used in special collections map cataloging, understand how special collections map cataloging differs from standard descriptive practice, identify research tools that aid in the identification and description of special collections maps, and learn how to create successful cataloging workflows for these unique materials. No previous knowledge of map cataloging is necessary, although general familiarity with the MARC record structure is helpful.
