Description:
Join your colleagues for A Day for Catalogers where we will delve into Subject Analysis for Copy Catalogers and Harm Reduction in Library Classification.

 

Respecting Authority: An Intro to Subject Analysis for Copy Catalogers (Morning Session)

Subject cataloging gets a bad rap as fussy and hard to learn. While mastery takes time, there are smaller steps copy catalogers can take to expand their knowledge and improve the use of subject terms in their catalogs. This brief workshop will introduce you to some of the most common subject systems, rules, and principles with a focus on Library of Congress Subject Headings.

Harm Reduction in Library Classification (Afternoon Session)
