Copy Cataloging Training on Folio for Student Assistants: Home

Copy cataloging of monographs on Folio 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 Folio 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
