Using the Library of Congress Classification P Schedule

This webinar will cover some of the more complex aspects of using the "P" schedule to create classification numbers, including use of various tables, with a focus on individual literary authors of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Originally presented on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to:
  • create classification numbers for individual literary authors
  • identify and use appropriate internal tables to shelflist an author's collections, individual works, and criticism
  • apply external tables from CSM: Classification and Shelflisting Manual to shelflist translations, abridgments, and criticism of individual literary works

Who Should Attend

The presentation is geared toward catalogers with some experience using the "P" classification, and thus will not cover basic skills.
