Assigning Library of Congress Subject Headings offered online, May 2- June 5

Description: Subject headings are important access points for library materials. The assignment of subject headings depends heavily on the cataloger’s judgment and knowledge. This five-week online workshop will focus on subject analysis and the proper construction of Library of Congress Subject headings. Audience: Library staff with some knowledge of AACR2, MARC records, and cataloging. This workshop is approved for the NLC Cataloging Certificate Program. This class will be held online from May 2 to June 5. Class participants will access the course web site in order to read materials, discuss issues in a forum, and complete projects and assignments. The class is held asynchronously, which means that participants are not required to be online at any particular time during the five weeks; however, there is a class schedule with due dates that participants are expected to meet. The instructor will interact with the participants during the course to offer feedback and provide explanations of material.
