Program:

Program: Basic Subject Cataloging Using LCSH is designed to give attendees a solid foundation in the principles and practices of subject cataloging using LCSH, an introduction to the most important tools, and practice in formulating heading strings using subdivisions.Many topics were deliberately left out of the curriculum in order to cover the basics without overwhelming attendees and to allow time for active participation through exercises. Designed as a two-day course, the curriculum includes 15 sessions including the following:

• A review of the history and principles of subject cataloging
• Examination of tools, tricks, and tips relating to subject cataloging
• Application and use of names as subjects and use of subdivisions
• Subject heading records and coding
• Specialized areas and introduction to SACO
• Exercises and group discussions.

Prepared through an initiative by the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) and the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS).
