In particular, it examines the standards used in library cataloguing, classification and indexing, such as the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, MARC 21, and Dewey Decimal Classification. Students are expected to demonstrate a basic, practical understanding of the use of these cataloguing tools across a range of information media and environments.
