New to cataloging and processing, or looking to brush up your skills? This webinar will teach library staff the basics of cataloging and processing books, such as creating specs on file. Specs on file (AKA vendor specification cataloging requirements) are required by each book vendor. However, there is no need to fill out a new form for each vendor if you have your own ready to send! Participants will be walked through the steps to create their own and gain an understanding of the importance of each choice. We will also discuss importing records (using Follett Destiny) and how to add additional resources to records to enhance student engagement.
Presenter: Melissa Frost, PhD. Melissa has been a School Librarian for 25 years in the Rochester City School District. During that time, she has taught dozens of workshops on cataloging, Destiny, and library organization. She is currently the Librarian on Assignment for the School District and chair of the cataloging committee.
