Online Cataloging Education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

摘要

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Information Studies was an early adopter of teaching Master's of Library Science courses online, including cataloging courses. In this article we discuss features of our curriculum, including translating visual presentations for teaching cataloging in a physical classroom into the virtual environment; incorporating cultural diversity by consciously selecting a wider range of topics in cataloging examples for online classes for online students who are from all over the United States and sometimes the world; the curatorial trichotomy of resource description, cataloging, and collection management; and continuing education for working professionals.
