Perform Cataloguing Activities

The "Performing Cataloguing Activities" course provides learners with a foundational understanding of how library materials are organized and made accessible to users. Cataloguing is a critical function in any library or information center, as it involves describing information resources in a systematic way to make them easy to locate and use.

This course introduces students to key cataloguing concepts, tools, and international standards used in libraries. Learners will study cataloguing rules such as AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules) and RDA (Resource Description and Access), which guide the creation of accurate and consistent catalogue entries. The course also covers classification systems, particularly the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and Library of Congress Classification (LCC), used to assign call numbers and organize materials on library shelves.

Students will practice creating bibliographic records for various types of materials, including books, periodicals, digital media, and non-book items. Emphasis is placed on the structure of a catalogue record, including title, author, edition, publication details, subject headings, and classification numbers. Additionally, learners will be introduced to automated cataloguing systems and library software that simplify and enhance cataloguing processes.

By the end of the course, students will be able to prepare clear, accurate, and well-organized catalogue entries that support efficient resource retrieval. They will understand the importance of cataloguing in improving access to information and in maintaining a well-organized library collection. This knowledge is essential for anyone pursuing a career in library and information science.
