- subject c.
- classification

SUBJECT CATALOGUING
concept/step
- determining what subject concepts are covered by the intellectual content of a work
- as many subject headings as are appropriate chosen from a standard list
- choose a classification notation dari mana ii scheme
- analyze subject of the particular item & determined sub heading
- using LCSH @ a similar authoritative subject heading list
CLASSIFICATION
scheme determines a classification number for an item
- (represents the subject of the work in a number/letters)

-
-
INDEXING
process of analyzing the informational contents of records of knowledge expressing the informational content in the language of the indexing system
involves
- selecting indexable concepts in a doc
- expressing these concepts in the language of the indexing system (as index entries)
-
-
ABSTRACT
books/articles in periodicals are summarized & they're accompanied by adequate bibliographic description
(enable the publication/articles to be traced)
abstracting services extension of indexes
performing the same function in locating & recording contents of periodicals
differences
- abstract include a summary of the material indexed
- tend to be confined to narrow subject areas
- the abstract arrangement rarely follows the single author
- provides a clue to the relevance of the material, index gives only a key to where the material is located
FACTORS
- information explosion
- development of knowledge (r&d)
- information = important factor in any management
CATALOGING PROCESS
CATALOGUING
purpose of using international rules & standards
- provide consistency within a single information center (cataloguer)
- provide consistency between libraries
- reduce time involved in cataloguing
- provide ease of use for library users using more than 1 lib
component of catalog record in ISBD format
- main entry heading (access point thats chosen as the main in the library worlds
- description ( data that describes an information resources)
- tracing (appears at the bottom of the record & used to trace additional copies of the surrogate record)
- call num (a notation on an info resources that matches the same notation in the metadata record)

- a single sentence/a short paragraph describing & summarizing one's understanding of the aboutness is written
- translating the aboutness statement into the specific symbols found in the subject languages employed
objectives
- provide users with subject access to information resources (helps users locate info based on the subject of interest)
- to collocate information resources together (grouping similar resources tgt)
- to provide a logical location for similar tangible information resources on the shelves (organize physical material so they r easy to find based on subject matter)
conceptual analysis the translation of that conceptual analysis into a framework for a particular classification
challenges
- subjectivity of interpretation inconsistency in the subject terms assigned
-lack of standardization controlled vocabularies
- ambiguity in language words have diff meanings in diff context
- volume of work difficult for cataloguers to keep up
