[Christine Bradley]

Don't miss Basic Subject Cataloging Boot Camp with John Mitchell of the
Library of Congress

CLC is pleased to present this two and a half day course which will equip
library staff with the fundamental skills needed to create LCSH headings for
your library catalog. The course examines how to best approach determining
what a work is about, gives an overview of the principles and structure of
LCSH, and offers guidance in understanding key core elements of subject
authority records. 

This course also focuses on application of LSCH, including application of
topical, form, geographic and chronological subdivisions, and the use of
names as subjects. A brief introduction to the process of proposing new
subject headings through SACO will also be presented.
