In this workshop, Robin Fay explains the characteristics of different types of formats including physical presentation, data presentation, and tips for determining treatment (is it a book? is it a serial?) when information may be conflicting. She also touches on series and how they can help you reign in the chaos of some publisher's titles. No MARC experience is needed, but some understanding of MARC records and/or bibliographic data will be useful.

Slides and cheat sheets will be uploaded soon.
