Extra Readings for Students Who Have Not Taken the Prerequisite Course

An understanding of the standards and practice of library cataloging (or another descriptive tradition such as that used in archives or museums) is essential to effectively using the MODS metadata structure standards. For most students, completing the prerequisite course, S504: Cataloging (formerly L520: Bibliographic Access and Control), will provide this understanding. For students who have not taken this course, a few extra course readings are required. Students will find completing these readings before starting the first week's MODS encoding assignments will be of most use.

Required readings for this assignment:

• Library of Congress. "Understanding MARC Bibliographic."
• Library of Congress. "Understanding MARC Authority Records."
• Read, Elizabeth A. "AACR2 : Descriptive Cataloguing for Monographs.
• Read, Elizabeth A. "AACR2 : Access Points.
