Join OCLC Metadata Quality staff to discuss WorldCat quality issues and cataloging questions.
Cataloging audiobooks
On November 21, 1877, Thomas Edison recorded the world’s first audiobook when he recited “Mary Had a Little Lamb” into his phonograph machine, preserving the recitation on a tinfoil-wrapped cylinder. Since then, audiobooks have been released on phonograph records, audiocassettes, compact discs, Playaways, MP3s, and as streaming audio. Morris Levy will lead this session on cataloging audiobooks, focusing on the relevant instructions in MARC and RDA to describe the current audiobook formats.
