MPT1173 (EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM): Week 6 (Reflection) 20 March 2013

          In this week, we get to learn about subject cataloging. What is mean by subject cataloging? Subject cataloging is the process of determining subject headings for an item. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataloging

          The subject cataloging aims to provide access by subject to all relevant materials and to provide entry at any level of analysis. We get to learn about the vocabulary control term. This term is means by any list of subject headings for the control of terms used in catalog, bibliography or index. In controlled vocabulary there is one term for any one concept. In the controlled vocabulary, the synonymous terms is being identifies and one prefered terms is being selected. Such an example: Capsicum and peppers, we will use the peppers term. As for homonyms, it explicitly identifies the multiple concepts expressed by that word, such as example are : Springs (mechanical devices) and another Springs (water sources).

         We got to learn about the subject analysis where the first step is to examine the work in hand, then decide on several keywords that could represent the subject and finally using the keywords as a starting point, then go to each term in the list to identify appropriate headings. Subject cataloging determining the subject such as title, subtitle, author, forward, preface, introduction, publisher, series, content and index, text and CIP. After the lecturing, we go to the resourse centre to do some hands-on assignement.
