Version 3 is now available in a Web version and on CD-ROM CatSkill is an interactive multimedia product for Windows and Macintosh, designed to teach the use of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 2nd Edition (AACR2R) and MARC 21 coding. The course comprises 25 interactive modules. The first six modules include introductions to the course itself, the catalog and its various forms, the bibliographic record, the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), the structure of AACR2R and the MARC record. Modules 7 - 14 deal with the eight areas of bibliographic description in AACR2R Part I. (Each module integrates learning about monographs, serials and nonbook materials) Modules 14 - 23 deal with AACR2R Part II, covering access points and added entries, headings for personal names, geographic entities, corporate bodies and uniform titles, and references. Module 25 deals with the effects of format integration on the MARC format. CatSkill has been produced for use in library courses in colleges and universities, and for on-the-job training, for beginning catalogers and more experienced catalogers wanting to refresh their knowledge and skills. CatSkill contains 25-30 hours of instruction. Version 3 is fully revised. It uses the 2002 amendments of AACR2R and up-to-date MARC 21 codes.
