* WITH APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING *
Are you new to cataloguing rare books? The UK Bibliographic Standards Committee of the CILIP Rare Books Group is holding a cataloguing training session, using the cataloguing rules Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) (DCRM(B)), on
Tuesday, 22 September 2009, 2.00 - 5.00 p.m.
at
The British Library (96 Euston Rd, London).
The workshop is aimed at those who are considering adopting - or have recently adopted - DCRM(B) from scratch. It will describe the content and implementation of DCRM(B), both general and copy-specific elements. It is intended for those with some experience of cataloguing, but not necessarily of rare books. A course prerequisite is some knowledge of AACR2. Coverage will overlap with the sessions held in 2007/8 on differences between DCRB and DCRM(B), so that attendants at the earlier sessions are unlikely to benefit.
The price is £35.00 (including VAT) for CILIP Rare Books and Special Collections Group members and £40.00 (including VAT) for non-members.
To book a place, please contact Jenny Higham, at [log in to unmask], or by post:

Assistant Librarian
Lambeth Palace Library

Please let Jenny know your email address, telephone number and CILIP number.
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Assuming demand, another course will be run later in the autumn.
We hope to see you there.
