All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am

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.
