"Archival Cataloging as a Component of Description"

        Introduces archival cataloging in the context of archival description and
the descriptive process, relating the catalog record to more detailed
finding aids, indices, repository guides, and the like. Topics covered will
include sources of information, titles and dates, physical description and
notes. Goals of the workshop are for participants to 1) learn to catalog
archival materials and catalog with an archival perspective; 2) understand
the differences between archival cataloging and bibliographic cataloging;
3) gain familiarity with the tools of archival cataloging; 4) gain
understanding of best practice; 5) be exposed to the future of archival
cataloging; and 6) understand cataloging as a component of description. The
course will be presented by Melissa Delbridge, principal manuscript
cataloger, Duke Special Collections Library, Duke University, and Lynn
Holdzkom, manuscript cataloger, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
