- Information Identification and Organization. Student Study Guide. Module II: Organization and Acquisition of Information and Materials. Bolvin, Boyd M. West, Sharon Audiotape Recordings Cataloging Community Information Services Distance Education Higher Education Information Sources Interlibrary Loans Learning Modules Library Catalogs Library Collection Development Library Education Library Materials Library Networks Library Services Library Technical Processes Periodicals Slides Teleconferencing This second module in a three module program examines the types of materials and services that are available in a community information center or library and the tools or sources for obtaining them. The module covers: ways in which books and other materials are arranged and organized; descriptions of library catalogs and the basic information found on catalog cards or bibliographic records, regardless of format (card, microfilm roll, or microfiche sheet); and the meaning of bibliographic records, and how to recognize author, title, and subject cards. The module also teaches the student how to: develop a book purchase plan based upon the needs of a particular community; use journals and established lists to acquire, identify, and organize library materials; select periodicals; establish and become familiar with the uses of a periodical record file; and set up and use a library shelf list or inventory file. Students also gain a working knowledge of the Alaska Library Network (ALN) and its multiple uses for interlibrary loan (ILL), reference, cataloging, and selecting library materials. Each unit has learning activities, self-tests, tests, and assignments. Answers to the self-tests are provided in the document. (THC)
