Authority Control class registration is now open!
Libraries use authority control to manage the names, uniform titles, series titles, and subject headings in their catalogs.

This class is one of the REQUIRED classes for the NLC Cataloging Certificate program.
Audience: Library staff with some knowledge of AACR2/RDA, MARC records, and cataloging.
This class will be held online from June 5th to July 14th. To receive full credit, participants must complete all assignments and receive an 80% for the class.
Class participants will access the course website to read materials and complete assignments. The class is held asynchronously, which means that participants are not required to be online at any particular time during the five weeks. The instructor will interact with the participants during the course to offer feedback and help clarify the material.
A few days before the class starts, class participants will be sent information about accessing the class.
