 Areas to be covered include:

•           The building blocks of a catalogue record:

            Descriptive cataloguing

            Subject headings and classification   

•           An introduction to AACR2       

•           An introduction to MARC 21

•           The purpose of classification

•           The Dewey Decimal Classification System
