Understanding MARC 21 Bibliographic Records offered online, Jan 20-Mar 3

Please Note: This workshop is seven weekly online sessions, January 20 – March 3. When you register, you are registering for all seven sessions. To receive CE for this workshop, participants must attend at least six of the seven sessions as they are being presented and complete a short homework assignment for each session. One missed session can be made up by listening to the recording of that session.
Descripton: Why would you use a 651 MARC tag instead of a 610 tag or a 655 tag instead of a 650 tag? What is the difference between a 130 tag and a 240 tag? Where do you put the note about closed captioning?
