The CILIP Cataloguing & Indexing Group (CIG) is pleased to announce a repeat of the successful “LCSH in a day” training course. “LCSH in a day” is a practical introduction to using Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), led by a specialist from the British Library. The course will include an overview of the Subject Cataloging Manual, and will cover the structure of LCSH and conventions for constructing strings. This one-day event mixes taught theory with practical exercises.
