sac-class: LCC course outline

[Lori Robare <lrobare@darkwing.uoregon.edu>]

Hi all -

We need to move ahead on developing an outline for the LCC course. 
Let's take the next couple of weeks to share ideas on this.  By
April 15, I'd like to have enough input that we can shape a draft outline
and start developing some of the course content.

Here are a few resources to help get you thinking:

Minutes from our Midwinter meeting are available at:

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~lrobare/sac-class.

Rebecca Uhl contacted Angela Jones (a trainer for the LCSH
course), who has developed a workshop on LC classification for in-house
training, and later for Amigos, based on the book
"Learn Library of Congress Classification" by Helena Dittmann
and Jane Hardy (Scarecrow 2002).  (Amigos provided copies of the
book to workshop participants to avoid any copyright issues.) 
Angela has graciously agreed to share her materials with us so we can see
what topics she covers and how she organizes the materials.  These
are PowerPoint files.  I'll send them to your individual email
addresses rather than distribute over the list.

At our Midwinter meeting, I passed out copies of the table of contents
for Lois' book, A Guide to the Library of Congress Classification, 5th
ed.   

Also distributed at Midwinter: the course outline for the ALCTS/PCC
workshop on LCSH (in the Introduction for Instructors).  Though this
is not about LCC, it may be useful as an example of how topics were
organized for the course.

Other recent books on LC classification which may spark ideas
include:
  Learn Library of Congress Classification, by Helena Dittmann and
Jane Hardy, Scarecrow 2002  (noted above).
  Essential Classification, by Vanda Broughton, Neal-Schuman, 2004
(not limited to LCC, but has relevant chapters)

Also, please send to the list any outlines for training you've done on LC
classification that may be useful to the group.

By the end of this week (April 8), please give some thought to the
general organization of the workshop -- the broad topics that should be
included and how they might be organized -- and share your ideas with the
list.
