Covering both classification and cataloging principles as well as
procedures relevant to school libraries, this book provides a
teaching kit for a course on this critical subject that includes
content and practice exercises. A valuable resource for instructors
in LIS programs who teach courses in cataloguing with an emphasis
on school libraries, this textbook explains the nuts and bolts of
classification and cataloging as well as the functionality of
integrated library systems and how these systems critically serve
the mission of the school. Author Cynthia Houston covers Web 2.0
and the social networking features of these systems as well as
examining in detail the principles and procedures for subject
classification using Sears subject headings or Dewey Decimal
Classification using the Sears tool. This teaching tool kit
addresses the cataloging of print materials, audiovisual materials,
and electronic materials separately-but all within the specific
context of the school library. It supplies a number of examples and
exercises to reinforce the key concepts and skills as well as to
demonstrate the real-world applications of learning concepts and
procedures. Based directly on Houston's extensive experience in
teaching classification and cataloging courses, the included
content and practice exercises enable instructors to use this book
for content, for instruction, and for providing student feedback.
Answers essential questions such as "What is the nature of the
bibliographic universe in an electronic information age?" and "What
is the relationship of my school library's catalog to the
bibliographic universe?" Addresses RDA standards as well as
cataloguing and classification strategies for school library
programs Features practice exercises that readers can apply
immediately for in-class use
