This introductory MARC Authority Tutorial is divided into four lessons:
1. What Does MARC Mean?
2. MARC Terms
3. What Is a MARC Authority Record?
4. Rules and Structures |
Each lesson consists of multiple learning units and quizzes. Preceding each lesson is an outline page describing the learning objectives of that section. To assist your learning, a glossary of the common authority control and MARC terms is appended to the end of the Tutorial and hyperlinked to most authority terms appearing in each unit. The front page provides a content table where each topic can be accessed directly. The Related Sites on the front page, which include USMARC, Tag of the Month, The Follett Neighborhood and more, provide most updated documentation on the MARC authority format, as well as MARC cataloging and retrieval practice. We strongly recommend that you visit these sites for additional information.
