LCSH for Arts Subjects
ARLIS/UK & Ireland Cataloguing and Classification Event
ARLIS Cataloguing & Classification Committee offers a one-day course on
the principles and practice of subject-indexing books and resources
about the arts and design, focussing on Library of Congress Subject
Headings (LCSH).
Cataloguers can improve their expertise in applying or evaluating
subject headings.
Reference librarians can increase their confidence in helping users get
the most out of subject searching. Those using different subject schemes
can widen their understanding of the analytical approach to subject
access in general.
The course will be delivered by Janet Ashton of the British Library and
chaired by Elizabeth James, of the National Art Library, Victoria and
Albert Museum, who also chairs the Committee. Janet has gained
considerable experience in training British Library staff in LCSH over
the course of nearly a decade, and the ARLIS LCSH session will include
both theory and practical exercises.
