    ABC's of LCDGT

    In this fast-changing world, understanding the ins and outs of authority records for various demographic groups has become a source of dread for many librarians!  Let us help.

    Agenda

    • Veronica Ranieri and Heidy Berthoud will provide a refresher on what LCDGT are, as well as current issues.
    • Cynthia Earman and Haim Gottschalk will give tips on preparing proposals and how they are evaluated.
    • Adam Schiff will end our session with how to use LCDGT terms in bibliographic and authority records.

    Just wanted to express my gratitude for everyone who played a part in this webinar. I'm a seasoned librarian but relatively new to cataloging, and the presenters did a marvelous job providing an approachable overview of LCDGT with clarifying examples, plus a couple cat cameos! I'll be revisiting these notes and able to apply this to my work right away. Well done, thank you!

    Thank you so much, Hope!  I'm very pleased it was clear and approachable.  I'm quite happy to answer any questions that might arise as you start using 385 and 386 fields in your records.
