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.
