Tiny workshops (Cataloging refreshers)

Tiny workshops are short presentations aimed at refreshing cataloging skills or updating on recent changes in policy and practice.

Please register for the workshops you are planning to attend. If you catalog material that falls into one of the categories below, attendance at the workshop is mandatory because we want to make sure everyone has the same understanding of CaMS policies and practices.
