<p class="MsoNormal"><i>At the end of four weeks you will feel comfortable with the basics of cataloging, classification, and MARC records and be ready to begin copy cataloging items in a variety of formats.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Course Description: </b>This four-week online course will provide an overview of library cataloging and classification and prepare you to do copy cataloging. Through reading materials, online forums, and individual exercises, you will
