In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. Note that in FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) Session 1: February 26 – March 23, 2018 Session 2: April 23 – May 18, 2018 Session 3: July 23 – August 17, 2018 The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) web course will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic resources.

Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (FCDM) Session 1: March 12 – April 6, 2018 Session 2: May 7 – June 1, 2018 Session 3: July 23 – August 17, 2018 The Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management web course addresses the basic components of these important areas of responsibility in libraries. Components include complete definition of collection development and collection management; collections policies and budgets as part of library planning; collection development (selecting for and building collections); collection management (e.g., making decisions after materials are selected, including decisions about withdrawal, transfer, preservation); collection analysis—why and how to do it; outreach, liaison, and marketing; trends and suggestions about the future for collection development and management.

Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) Session 2: March 19 – April 27, 2018 Session 3: June 4 – July 13, 2018 Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) web course begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. These foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME. In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content. Fundamentals of Preservation (FOP) Session 1: February 26 – March 23, 2018 Session 2: April 30 – May 25, 2018 Session 3: July 30 – August 24, 2018 The Fundamentals of Preservation web course introduces participants to the principles, policies and practices of preservation in libraries and archives.

Components include preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects and supports the institutional mission; the primary role of preventive care, including good storage conditions, emergency planning and careful handling of collections; the history and manufacture of physical formats and how this impacts preservation options; standard methods of care and repair, as well as reformatting options; and challenges in preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future of scholarship. Fundamentals of Metadata (FOM) Session 1: January 8 – February 16, 2018 Session 2: March 19 – April 27, 2018 Session 3: May 21 – June 29, 2018 The Fundamentals of Metadata course will examine similarities and differences between cataloging and metadata; descriptive, technical, and administrative metadata schema; content standards and controlled vocabularies; approaches to metadata creation and transformation; and metadata project design.
