Local Holdings Maintenance Webinar Schedule
The schedule for Spring 2009 MULS webinars was announced in the recent MINITEX / OCLC mailing. However, the MULS unit has revised the schedule our first Local Holdings Maintenance webinar series, to allow more time for staff that want training to sign up.
We apologize for the short lead time between the sessions and our initial announcement, and hope this new schedule will allow more library staff to participate in MULS training.
The revised Spring 2009 schedule of MULS webinars is now:
Tuesdays, 10:30 AM - noon: Part 1 2/17/09
Part 2 2/24/09
Part 3 3/ 3/09
Thursdays, 1:30 -- 3:00 PM: Part 1 2/26/09
Part 2 3/5/09
Part 3 3/12/09
Mondays, 1:00 -- 2:30 PM: Part 1 5/4/09
Part 2 5/11/09
Part 3 5/18/09
As the numbering suggests, these sessions are sequential and are designed to help staff members learn all about maintaining LHRs, from basic editing of existing holdings to creating new holdings and dealing with indexes, numbering changes and other quirks of serial holdings. Naturally, it is helpful to take the full series together. However, if your schedule requires you to sign up for different parts at different times, that is possible. You can get more details about each session and register online at the MINITEX training web page.
Libraries in the MINITEX region with access to OCLC are expected to maintain accurate Local Holdings Records (LHRs) in OCLC as part of their efforts to share resources. The MINITEX MULS unit provides training to library staff so they can efficiently and effectively access LHRs and add, update or delete Local Holdings information as needed.
