Copy cataloging of monographs on Alma requires attention to detail and accuracy. Patrons who use our online catalog need to be able to find the items they want; DRDS/Cataloging Department staff are responsible for enabling them to find their items.
After training with this manual the assistant should be able to:
- Check a book against the Alma record and confirm it is the correct record.
- Know MARC tagging for basic parts of the bibliographic record
- Be able to do basic editing to the bibliographic record
- Construct a call number for the item
- Add the call number and holdings to the holding record
- Make notations in the item records as needed
- Take statistics
