*Apologies for duplicate postings.*
ALCTS webinar: Introduction to Sears Subject Headings: II
This session is a companion to the ALCTS webinar: Introduction to Sears Subject
Headings: I presented on November 10, 2010.
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.
