ALCTS webinar: Introduction to Sears Subject Headings: II
This session is a follow-up to the November 10, 2010 session
Introduction to Sears Subject Headings: Part I.
Date: December 8, 2010
Time: All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description: Do you want to understand more complex constructions of
Sears Subject Headings used in bibliographic records? Do you want to
understand Sears better for catalog record creation, to evaluate your
vendor records, or for searching subjects in your catalog? Take a closer
look at Sears Subject Headings! This webinar focuses on using Sears and
constructing headings in your own library. Challenging subjects are
covered. The use of the 20th edition and other online tools is
explained. This webinar will also compare and contrast Library of
Congress Subject Headings and the Sears Subject Headings.
Presenter: Sara Rofofsky Marcus is the Electronic Resources /Web
Librarian at Queensborough Community College. In 2009 she received a
Samuel Lazerow Fellowship for research on Sears subject headings and she
is currently completing this research. In 2009/2010 she also received
the Professional Staff Congress of the City University of New York
(PSC-CUNY) grant to study the Sears List. She has taught cataloging and
classification at Queens College and Rutgers University and has
cataloged and automated libraries using both LCSH and Sears.
Audience: These webinars will be of interest to anyone interested in
learning more about subject cataloging with a focus on the Sears List as
opposed to LCSH. No expertise is needed. School librarians, special
librarians with general materials in their collections, public
librarians, and anyone who just wants to know more about subject
headings and cataloging will benefit from these two webinars.
