About Online with the CMC Webinars
Learn the nuances of cataloging and collection discoverability in 30 minutes each second Thursday when you attend the Cataloging Maintenance Center’s Online with the CMC. These webinars, led by CMC cataloging and metadata experts, cover a different challenging or interesting cataloging special topic each month, such as examining accessibility in cataloging and how to use some of the less-common MARC fields. A 30-minute Q&A session follows each presentation, allowing participants to seek clarification or ask about additional cataloging topics.
