A guide to cataloguing and classification for school libraries.

No matter how many wonderful resources we have in our libraries they are redundant unless our users can find them easily. On this course we will learn about the importance of cataloguing our stock and also how we arrange it on our library shelves according to the age and abilities of our students. But we will also be considering the hidden magic of selecting descriptive keywords and subject headings so that students can locate what they need for themselves. Maybe due to the pandemic our service has changed and we may have invested in more digital products. It is important to ensure these too are visible and this course will give you ideas. Finally, we will consider automated cataloguing software (LMS) and discover ways to maximise its use in teaching and learning.

It is important for any library that users can find the information they need in whatever format easily. This course considers the different ways we might arrange our stock with particular emphasis on the Dewey Decimal System and how this can be adapted to suit.
