ALCTS webinar: Principles of Classification
Date: October 24, 2012
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Have you ever wondered why we have library classification
systems and how they work? How does one system organize information
compared to another?
This webinar will first cover basic, general principles of
classification. It will also present the basic structure of the two main
systems we use, Library of Congress Classification (LCC) and Dewey
Decimal Classification (DDC), and will discuss their strengths and
weaknesses. It will illustrate some of the main differences between LCC
and DDC with practical examples.
Audience: This webinar would be of interest to catalogers and
non-catalogers who want a basic introduction to the classification
systems and their structure.
Presenter:Lai Ma is a Ph.D. Candidate and Adjunct Lecturer at the School
of Library and Information Science at Indiana University-Bloomington,
where she also obtained a M.L.S. Lai has taught courses in the area of
knowledge organization for more than four years. Her research interests
include the interrelationship between information infrastructure and
society.
