This workshop provides an intensive full-day introduction to the skills needed to use the OCLC MARC format. While typically for cataloging staff, this workshop will also help interlibrary loan and reference staff improve online searching, retrieval and verification skills. Participants will learn:

*The structure of the MARC record.
*The most commonly used fixed field elements and variable fields.
*How to access and efficiently use OCLC print and online documentation.

This one day in-person workshop will be held at Lawrence Public Library, Board Room (lower level). Cost is $175 and offers 6 hours of CE credit. Registration is required.
