LCSH for Arts Subjects

 

Date: 15 December 2014, 10.00-5.00 (registration 10.00-10.15)

Venue: University of Birmingham, Learning Centre – UG08 Cluster, B15 2TT

 

ARLIS Cataloguing & Classification Committee is offering a one-day course on the principles and practice of subject-indexing books and resources about the arts and design, focusing 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. Janet has gained considerable experience in training British Library staff in LCSH over the course of fifteen years. The day will include a good mix of theory and practical exercises, which will give attendees the opportunity to practise what will be covered in the course.
