Creating call numbers is one of the most creative and interesting parts

of resource description. It gives library professionals the ability to

classify knowledge and augments the meaningfulness of the library

collection. The purpose of this course is to teach you the mechanics of

Dewey Decimal Classification and Library of Congress Classification

numbers. Classification numbers exist to group similar items together,

while allowing libraries to make materials findable by users.

By the end of this course students will:

- Use WebDewey to create Dewey Decimal Classification numbers

- Use freely available online tools to create Library of Congress

Classification numbers

- Create call numbers based on pre-existing shelflists

- Create classification numbers for children's material and internet

resources

- Learn the principles of classification for digital libraries

- Learn how to enter classification numbers into MARC records
