Improve your information organisation skills in this popular two day workshop: The cat and class course - it's OK for anyone! 25 & 26 January, London OK or organisation of knowledge is central to the effective function of any information service. The established skills developed within librarianship provide both effective systems for this process, and also the conceptual tools for developing and tailoring in house approaches appropriate for your organisation. How will this event help you? This workshop has been designed to provide a basic introduction to the skills of information organisation in the context of library and information services. It will provide a broad based framework built from principles and practice that the participant can then take away and develop in your own organisational context. Features The course content is informed by the major international standards which are used for knowledge organisation in libraries. These include the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, the Dewey Decimal Classification, the MARC format for computerised cataloguing and formats like thesaurus. The presentation of material will involve the use of these approaches in structuring the workshop exercises that are presented. Who will benefit from attending? You will find this workshop ideal if you are an information worker who is new to this area.
