Course description

Building on cataloging principles and rules taught in LIS 605, LIS 606 introduces students to the rules, principles, and practices of authority control in library catalogs, reference structure, choice of access points in the bibliographic record, forms of headings, authority record construction, descriptive cataloging of various non-book formats and of continuing and integrating resources, non-AACR/MARC metadata, and Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records (FRBR).

 

Continues (from 605) study of general rules for description, MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings, Library of Congress Classification. 

 

Some discussion of the principles of Resource Description and Access (RDA).

(N.b., students in this class will not learn or apply the specific rules in RDA, which are now under review and revision and not yet released).

 

Class meetings will consist of lecture and discussion format and some in-class exercises using online bibliographic tools and utilities.  Students will be expected to complete reading assignments and exercises prior to each class meeting.  Homework assignments will require the use of OCLCs Connexion® cataloging client or web-based Connexion browser. The Connexion client can be downloaded free of charge to your home computer or any other PC running Windows. Download instructions will be distributed in class.

Students will be expected to discuss their weekly written assignments in class. Students will work in small groups to complete two projects requiring a class presentation and a group-submitted paper.

Student learning outcomes (SLOs) addressed

This course addresses the following student learning outcomes:

 

SLO 1a) Apply LIS theory and principles to diverse information contexts

SLO 2b) Work effectively in teams

SLO 3b) Organize, create, archive and manage collections of information resources following professional standards

SLO 3c) Search, retrieve and synthesize information from a variety of systems and sources

 

Professional expectations

Prerequisites

LIS 605

 

Teaching Method/Requirements

Class meetings will consist of lecture and discussion format and occasional in-class exercises using online bibliographic tools and utilities. 

 

Students will be expected to complete reading assignments and exercises prior to each class meeting.    

 

Assignments will be posted on the online class syllabus one week before they are due.
