Subject Headings for Church Or Synagogue Libraries
Author: Dorothy B. KerstenPublisher: Church & Synagogue
ISBN: 9780915324309
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This guide to subject headings for church or synagogue libraries begins by providing guidelines for the subject cataloging process. These guidelines are presented under seven headings: (1) Selecting the Subject Heading (by names of persons, religious congregations and orders, sects and denominations, places, holidays, and new subjects); (2) Specific Entry; (3) Subdivisions; (4) Cross References; (5) Subject Entry Cards; (6) Classification Numbers; and (7) Subject Authority File. Practical examples are provided which correspond to each of these headings. The subject heading list, which makes up the major part of the publication, includes classification numbers for each term that would most likely be found in a church or synagogue library. Suggestions for additional headings may be found in both the guidelines and in works listed in the bibliography. A list of some of the subject headings most used in collections of non-fiction children's books is also provided. A 9-item bibliography and a list of other CSLA (Church and Synagogue Library Association) publications are included. (MAB)
Standards for Church and Synagogue Libraries

ISBN: 9780915324361
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
This outline of standards is designed for administrators and committees concerned with libraries for religious congregations. The standards were developed based on the understanding that the church or synagogue library is a special library that serves the institution in which it is housed and which is supplemental to other libraries in the area, providing materials related to the teachings and programs of its faith. Standards are presented as goals to work toward in organizing and developing congregational libraries. The standards begin by establishing the need for a policy statement and providing a sample statement. Other areas discussed include: (1) physical requirements; (2) administration and operation; (3) personnel qualifications and responsibilities; (4) finances; (5) selection of materials; (6) cataloging and classification; (7) public relations; and (8) a check list for long-range planning. An appendix contains sample policy statements, a sample materials selection policy, and sample by-laws for a library committee. (SLD)

Book Description
Designed as a simple how-to guide, this handbook presents guidelines for setting up a church or synagogue library or revitalizing an existing one. The first of 10 sections, "Begin with a Purpose," advocates thinking about the goals of the library and putting them in writing. It includes two brief sample mission statements. The second, "Establish Objectives," gives advice about summarizing broad objectives and identifying specific objectives. A list of 11 basic manuals about congregational libraries is included. The third, "Obtain Approval," suggests ways to rally support from influential individuals or officers of the church or synagogue, survey user needs, and request formal approval. The fourth, "Set Up a Library Committee," provides guidelines for appointing a chairperson, recruiting committee members, and assembling meetings. The fifth, "Survey Your Assets," recommends gathering up already existing resource materials, sorting them, and finding a place to store them. The sixth, "Develop Program Plans," provides specific suggestions for planning programs to meet the library's objectives. The seventh, "Carry Out Specific Projects," lists steps for implementing programs. The eighth, "Arrange for Continuing Education," suggests ways to orient and train volunteers to work in the library. The ninth, "Provide for Continuity," recommends that an annual report and yearly program plans be prepared and presented to the library's sponsors. The final section, "Stretch Your Horizons," advises community outreach, learning from professional librarians, and staying optimistic. (SD)
