[Libs-Or] OCLC Western's new series of Local Holdings workshops

[Western]

OCLC Western's new series of Local Holdings workshops consists of four
online workshops: Local Holdings Introduction; Local Holdings
Foundations - Principles and Standards for LH's Records; Local Holdings
Maintenance I: Basic Serials Local Holdings; and Local Holdings
Maintenance II: Beyond the Basics. These workshops walk participants
through reasons to add Local Holdings Records (LHRs) to WorldCat,
principles and standards for creating high-quality LHRs, and
step-by-step techniques using real-world scenarios to create LHRs. 

The online format is interactive, convenient and affordable. From
exploring the current standards for electronic holdings records (Z39.71
and MARC Holdings) to creating records in OCLC's WorldCat and selecting
the best bibliographic records, our Local Holdings courses are a
progressive, holistic approach to mastering the creation, interaction
and maintenance of your library's local holdings. 


Local Holdings Introduction Online
This workshop presents a basic overview of the local holdings landscape,
the reasons to add local holdings to OCLC's WorldCat database, and an
overview of the methods with which to do it. The presenter will also
work with the trainees to help them begin the process of formulating
their short- and long-term goals for local holdings in their library.
