ISKO UK KOS workshop in the Knowledge Organization Education series:
Introduction to Universal Decimal Classification (UDC)
by Aida Slavic
WHAT DOES THE WORKSHOP COVER? - The workshop provides an introduction
to the UDC system, its nature, and its application in subject indexing.
The focus of the workshop is on explaining UDC's analytico-synthetic and
faceted principles, and the way these are applied in subject indexing
and knowledge organization. The practical application of UDC and guided
exercises will be an important element of this workshop and participants
will be asked to allocate time for completing tasks in between online
sessions. WHO WILL BENEFIT? - This workshop will be principally of
interest to those considering, planning or are about to start using UDC
for information resource indexing. It may also benefit anyone who would
like to learn more about the ways analytico-synthetic classifications
covering knowledge as a whole are designed and how they function in
organizing information. No prior knowledge of UDC or subject indexing is
assumed.
PROGRAMME - The workshop takes place remotely: online via Zoom, a closed
online forum and via emails. It consists of three 90 min long sessions
with a mix of theory and exercises. The workshop forum will contain
workshop materials and will enable online discussion, guided and
supervised by the instructor. The online sessions are scheduled from
6.30 to 8 pm (GMT) on successive Thursdays starting from 25 November
2021.
DATE: 25 Nov - 09 Dec 2021
