Introduction:
Thinking and Reading Critically
What Is Critical Thinking?
Whenever you read a magazine article, newspaper editorial, or a piece of advertis-
ing and find yourself questioning the claims of the authors, you are exercising the
basics of critical thinking . Instead of taking what you read at face value, you look
beneath the surface of words and think about their meaning and significa.

The document discusses the creation of a Cost Accounting Center of Excellence by a company to standardize cost accounting practices across manufacturing facilities, centralize the cost accounting function, and reduce administrative costs. A steering committee provided oversight for the core project team, which had significant autonomy and consisted of cost accountants, technical accountants, IT specialists, and manufacturing staff. This cross-functional team worked together using their complementary skills and proceeded largely as a self-managed team.
The document discusses various techniques writers use to appeal to audiences, including pathos, ethos, and logos. It uses examples from news articles to illustrate how pathos appeals to emotion, ethos establishes the writer's credibility, and logos relies on facts and research. Some articles are most effective because they use multiple appeals simultaneously. The document encourages close reading of articles and considering how writers develop their arguments and viewpoints.

Module 1: Sections and Genres
Circulating Collection
The largest collection in each of the libraries. Materials that do not fit within the other genre sections will go into
circulating. This can include both fiction and nonfiction.
There are three subgenres that are cataloged with the circulating collection code. These are Oversize, Graphic Novels, and
Living Learning Communities. These will ALWAYS be cataloged with the circulating collection code (c).
Oversize – oversized books are books that measure more than 28 cm tall. We put them in the Circulating
Collection because they are too large to fit elsewhere.
Graphic Novels, Comic Books, and Manga – Graphic novels belong in their own unique place within the
circulating collection (they all have 741.5 as a Dewey number). All you would do for graphic novels would be to
put the Circulating Collection code in and the Dewey number is what tells you that it’s a graphic novel.
Living Learning Communities – Within the different residence halls, there are the Living Learning
Communities that are dedicated to particular subjects and topics. There are a total of 7 Living Learning
Communities.
o Innovation LLC (ISR)
o Unit One (Allen)
o Health Professions (FAR)
o WIMSE (FAR)
o Sustainability LLC (LAR)
o Global Crossroads (PAR)
o Intersections (PAR)
o Weston (IKE)
Biographies, Memoirs, and Autobiographies - Each residence hall library has a section for biographies,
memoirs, and autobiographies. These books are about people that were extremely famous or relevant in history
(such as John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Abraham Lincoln).These books also get the letter B in the call
number and are cataloged with the Circulating Collection code.
o Misconception: Memoirs and biographies from people in the general population (travelers, sport stars,
etc.) are not cataloged with the biographies. Instead, they are cataloged with their Dewey number and
placed within the general Circulating Collection.
Study Guide
The study guides section consists mostly of books that help students with major tests and scholarships.
Themes and Types:
GRE, MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, and other major test prep books
Guides for scholarships
Course/subject guides(such as biology, math, etc.)
Guides for different school programs

Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes

Self-Help (now known as Personal Growth)
Self-help, although known as Personal Growth, is still cataloged for now as self-help in the catalog. This collection
consists of works the provide information on areas of personal growth and development, such as body image, nutrition,
exercise, wellness, spirituality, mental health, and other areas that explore and foster personal development such as
hobbies and crafts and relationship and dating advice. The collection also includes books that facilitate skills in public
speaking, leadership, and adjustment to the college experience.

Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want by Jenny Blake

Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes
Spirituality is not the same as religion. Books on religion go in the Circulating Collection (unless they are
connected with personal development and growth).
Jobs/Career
The books in the Job/Career section are career guides and resources. These are books that assist with career exploration
and development, emphasize students as the primary audience, and explore career opportunities. Other books could
include on how to write a resume, build a portfolio, and conduct job interviews.
Themes and Types:

Finding and/or building your career
Using social media for finding jobs
Job interviews
Information on different careers

Nirvana edited by Ben Cohen-Leadholm, Ari Gerzon-Kessler, Rachel Skerritt

Job After College by Bonnie Kerrigan Snyder
Job Interviews For Dummies by Joyce Lain Kennedy
Expert Resumes for Managers and Executives by Wendy S. Enelow and Louise M. Kursmark
Becoming a Landscape Architect: A Guide to Careers in Design by Kelleann Foster
Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes
Books on how to get a job go in this section, not in Personal Growth.
Any guides on how to get into college or succeed in college go in Personal Growth.
These can technically by guides but they would not go in Study Guides.
Mystery/Thriller
6. 6
This genre includes stories where the outcome is not known but found out through a process. These include classical
“cozy” mysteries, hard-boiled crime stories, crime/caper stories, legal and action thrillers, detective stories, postmodern
crime novels, and historical mysteries. All books in the Mystery/Thriller section are fiction.
Themes and Types:
Mystery fiction
Thriller
Investigations
Murder
Suspense fiction (depending on the subject headings)
Detective fiction
Crime
Legal thrillers
Police detectives
Private investigators
Serial killers
Spy stories
Espionage
Historical mystery
Title Examples:
High Heels are Murder by Elaine Viets
1st
to Die by James Patterson
The Woodcutter by Reginald Hill
Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes
Usually the records will say if it’s mystery but thriller is a little harder to determine. Sometimes you may have to
decide for yourself if the book belongs in mystery or thriller. I find it helpful to look at some of the reviews on the
book itself, which may categorize the book as mystery or thriller.
Romance
To determine if a book belongs in the Romance section, you would need to look at the record. In the record, look to see if
it says Love Stories in the 655 or 650 field (this means romance).
Themes and Types:
Love stories
Paranormal romance
Fantasy romance
Historical romance
Gothic romance
Christian romance
Medieval romance
Erotic fiction/romance
Romantic suspense/mystery
7. 7
Man-woman relationships
LGBTQ romantic relationships
Young adult romance
Title Examples:
Dreaming of Mr. Darcy by Victoria Connelly
Sweet Addiction by Maya Banks
Undead and Undermined by Mary Janice Davidson
Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes
Books in the Paranormal Romance genre go in the Romance section, not in Science-Fiction and Fantasy (so if a
book says paranormal romance on the book itself or in the record, put it in romance).
Science-Fiction and Fantasy
To determine if a book belongs in the Science-Fiction and Fantasy section, you can again look at the record for the item.
There will usually be a 655 field that says Science fiction or Fantasy fiction.
Themes and Types:
Young adult fantasy
Young adult science-fiction
Science-fiction
Fantasy fiction
Occult fiction
Space travel
Time travel
Vampires
Witches
Ghosts
Wizards
Werewolves
Dragons
Demons
Robots
Cyborgs

Star Trek Voyager: Distant Shores edited by Marco Palmieri

Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes

Science-Fiction and Fantasy.

This collection consists of non-fiction works that explore the concept of diversity or identity or contribute to a
multicultural representation within the library collections.
Themes and Types:
Social identity
Diversity
Social views on groups in the United States
Experiences of immigrating to the U.S. from other countries
Concept Examples:

A Chinese family’s experience immigrating to the United States

Authentically Black: Essays for the Black Silent Majority by John McWhorter
The Perfect Gentlemen: A Muslim Boy Meets the West by Imran Ahmad
Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes
Travel memoirs: If a United States citizen travels to another country, we do not put that book in Multicultural
(that would go in the Circulating Collection)
Women’s Issues
To determine if a book belongs in the Women’s Issues section, you can again look at the record or the book. We generally
put anything related to feminism or women’s rights in the Women’s Issues section (so anything about promoting women
in the world).
Themes and Types:
9. 9
Women’s suffrage
Feminism
Feminist theory
Feminist literature
Women’s rights
Women professionals
Women’s history
Title Examples:
The Flipside of Feminism : What Conservative Women know – and Men Can't Say by Suzanne Venker and Phyllis
Schlafly

Misconceptions/Easy Mistakes:
Sometimes we purchase guides for women, such as guides for financial advice or putting on make-up or finding a
fashion type. These would not go in Women’s Issues. Instead, they would go in Personal Growth.

Module 2: Finding Records in OCLC Connexion
All of our records come from OCLC Connexion.
Logging into OCLC Connexion
OCLC Connexion can be found at http://connexion.oclc.org/.
The page will have a box like this:
Login with this information:
Authorization: 100102088
Password: CKW
Searching in OCLC Connexion
14. 14
To find a record, click in the Search for box and scan the ISBN number on the back of the book or type the number into
the box. If you can’t find the book by the ISBN, type in the Title and Author’s name in the boxes under the
Keyword/Numeric Search section. Remember to select Title (ti:) and Name (au:) from the drop-down menus.
Checking Records
After you have found a record, you must check the information on the book to make sure the record is the correct one.
Things to check include:
Title: the title has to match that on the Title page (not on the front cover of the book)
ISBN: the ISBN has to match the number found on the back of the Title page.
Copyright date and publication date: The book will have either a copyright date or a publication date (or both). If
the book has the publication date, check that on the book first. If there is no publication date, go with the
copyright.
Physical characteristics: Check the page number and height of the book (use a ruler to measure it).
Subject headings: Check to make sure there are at least three subject headings (if not, you can add them in after
you have imported the record into Voyager).
Tip: If the record is not right in some spots, you cannot change anything in OCLC Connexion. You will have to wait until
you have the record in Voyager before you can make any changes to it.
Exporting and Downloading Records
Once you have the right record, you need to export it. From the drop-down menu at the top (next to the word Action),
select Export Record in MARC. Once you do that, there will be a green message above the record that says Export
completed.
15. 15
You will repeat this process for as many records as you need. Once you have exported all the records that you want, you
go up to the General tab at the top of the page. Under the General tab you will see a drop-down menu labeled Admin
Options.
Click on the drop-down menu and select Download Export Files. This will save the file to your computer that you will
use in Voyager.
Module 3: Introduction to Voyager Catalog
When we add records into the Voyager Catalog, we have to go in a certain order.
Bibliographic record – this is the record you found in OCLC Connexion. You have to save this in the catalog
before you can add any Holding records.
Holding record – this record tells you which library has an item. You have to save a Holdings record before you
can add an Item record.
Item record –when you add an item record, you have to scan a barcode. Once you have added the Item record, you
can go back to either the bibliographic or holding record.
There is only one bibliographic record, but multiple holding records can be attached to one bibliographic record.
However, only one item record can be attached to a holding record.
Module 4: Setting Preferences in Voyager
Before you can begin cataloging in Voyager, you must set your preferences for Voyager Catalog on your account.
General
23. 23
Module 5: Importing/Adding Bibliographic Records in Voyager Catalog
The records that you found in OCLC Connexion are referred to as the Bibliographic (Bib) Records in the Voyager
catalog.
To import the bib records:
You open Voyager Cataloging and click on Record in the top menu
Select Import from the drop-down menu
Then select From new file
You will then be taken to the Downloads page for the computer. The files for the exported records will say
EXPORT.DAT and then the date. Double-click on the data file that you want.
The records will appear in a pop-up window. Click on the name of the record you want to import and click OK.
Although you checked the record before you exported it from OCLC Connexion, you should check the record
thoroughly, especially if there were some parts of the record that you have to edit. I always double-check the
ISBN, title, author, and publication/copyright date again.
o Subject headings: Every record should have at least 3 subject headings. These will be found in the 650
fields. If the record does not have 3 subject headings, look at the information in the Cataloging Tips for
how to find additional subject headings.
The imported record will then open completely in Voyager Cataloging. To save the record in the catalog, click on
the small boat icon in the top menu. It says Save to DB underneath the icon.
After you have clicked Save to DB, there will be a pop-up called Authority Validation. Click the Continue button.
24. 24
Unless another library has the item, the record should successfully save to the catalog. You can then proceed to
add a Holdings record.
Duplicate Records
There is always a possibility that another UIUC library will have one of our items. If another library does have it, you will
know after you click Save to DB. A message will pop up saying Bibliographic Dedupe Detection (which basically means
a duplicated record). Make sure that the record is highlighted and click the Retrieve button. This will bring up the record
already saved in the catalog.
When you open the record, be sure to exit out of the record you imported (the imported record will say Imported
record at the top of the record).
Check all the information in the record to make sure that it matches with the book. Sometimes, the record will be
wrong for the book you have (as is sometimes the case with paperbacks and hardbacks).
If all the information is correct, you can add a new Holding record for the bib record.
If the information does not match the book that you have, you will have to click the Add as a New Record button,
which will save the record in the catalog and then you can add a new Holding record.
Retrieving Bibliographic Records
To view or retrieve a bibliographic record, click the Get Bib icon.
25. 25
Module 6: Adding Holdings Records
To add a Holdings record after saving a record in the catalog, click the New Hldgs icon.
After you have finished putting in all the information for the Holding record, remember to click on the Save to DB icon.
The holdings records are the records for individual libraries. This is where we put the library, section, call number, cutter
number, and copy number of the items.
h = call number
i = cutter number
t = copy number
Codes for Different Libraries
After you have added the record to the system, you must add the library’s bibliographic record. This record will say to
which library the item belongs to and what section within the library it belongs to.
There are 8 different libraries for which you will be cataloging books: Allen, Busey-Evans, Florida Avenue (FAR),
Ikenberry Commons, Illinois Avenue (ISR), Lincoln Avenue (LAR), Pennsylvania Avenue (PAR), and the Resource
Center (which is located in the Ikenberry Commons Library).
all = Allen Library
bus = Busey-Evans Library
far = Florida Avenue Residence Library
ike = Ikenberry Commons Library
isr = Illinois Avenue Residence Library
lar = Lincoln Avenue Residence Library
par = Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Library
res = Resource Center (Residential Life Resource Center)
The following table gives the codes for the individual libraries and their genres.

Assigning Call Numbers
We use the Dewey Decimal System for all different sections and categories of our collection.
The Dewey Decimal number can be found in two specific spots. The first is in the 082 field on the book record. The other
spot is in the book itself (usually on the back of the title page).
We only have a few certain rules when it comes to assigning Dewey numbers for specific books.
We DO NOT use any decimals with any fiction (this includes fiction from other countries too). 813 is the number
for American fiction and 823 is the number for British fiction. We do not use decimals with fiction from other
countries either.
o 813 – American fiction
o 823 – British (English) fiction
o 833 – German fiction
o 843 – French fiction
o 853 – Italian fiction
o 863 – Spanish fiction
o 891 – East Indo-European and Celtic Literature (not necessarily fiction but you will see this call number a
lot)
All graphic novels get the 741.5 Dewey number.
All biographies, memoirs, and autobiographies that we put in the Biographies section have a B in the call number
field and are cataloged with the Circulating Collection code.
Assigning Cutter Numbers
Cutter numbers are harder to find/create than Dewey numbers. You cannot find them in the book record or in the book
itself. Instead, they have to be created or found by other means. There are primarily two ways to find/created Cutter
numbers. Before you create any numbers, you should look to see if we already have books by that author, and you can do
this using the library’s online catalog. Simply, type in the author’s name in the search box (Last Name, First Name) and
hit the search. After you get the results, remember to choose Residence Hall Libraries from the options for Location
under Narrow Your Search. If we do have books by that author, select one of the books and copy the Cutter number down.
The cutter number is found directly after the Dewey number.
27. 27
Call Number: 813 W213da
If we do not have any other books by that author, then you will have to create a Cutter number with the OCLC Dewey
Cutter Program that is found on your computer. Type (or paste) the author’s last name and first name in the Text box and
then copy the given Cutter number into the book record. Note: DO NOT HIT ENTER AFTER YOU HAVE TYPED
IN THE NAME (THIS WILL CLOSE THE CUTTER PROGRAM)
After you have given the book a Cutter number, you have to check that the number is unique. To do this, you have to click
out of all the windows and the click the Search icon.
Select Call Number from the list if it’s not already chosen and type in just the call number and the Cutter number. DO
NOT INCLUDE THE TWO LETTERS AT THE END OF THE CUTTER NUMBER THAT WE PUT FOR THE
TITLE.
28. 28
Hit Enter or click the Do Search button and this should bring up a list of results.
Check to make sure that the Cutter number is not being used by a different author. It will show up in the results if it is.
Special Collections
Biographies
Besides having a letter instead of a Dewey number in the call number field, biographies are also cuttered differently. With
biographies, you have to:
Cutter by the person featured in the biography.
The last letter of the cutter will be the first letter of the title of the book.
29. 29
Translated Works
Translated works get a unique Cutter number to show both the author and the translator. When you either look for or
create the Cutter number, you will do it by the author’s last and first name (just like you would do normally). Then, you
will add an additional three letters to the end of the author’s Cutter Number. The last three letters are the capitalized first
letter of the title in its ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, capital E, and the lowercase first letter of the translator’s LAST name.
Note: you can usually find the original title of the book in the 240 field. Translated works can include both fiction and
non-fiction.
Spanish Language Materials
The libraries also maintain a collection of foreign language print materials aimed at meeting the recreational and
information needs of the Spanish-speaking and Spanish-reading community. The section is devoted mostly to English
works that have been translated into Spanish (for example, the Spanish version of Harry Potter). The collection is housed
at the FAR library. The Cutter number would be for the author, and if the book has been translated into Spanish, create
the Cutter number like the other translated works. However, if the book was originally written in Spanish, create the
Cutter normally, with the Cutter number of the author and the first two letters of the title.
Adding Copies of the Same Book
Designating the copy number for books is done right after the Cutter number in the t field. When there are multiple copies
of the same book for different libraries, each library will have to have its own holding record. To designate the copy
number, simply change the number from 1 to 2 (or 3,4,5, etc.).
Special Considerations
Living Learning Communities - These materials all are written with the Circulating Collection code plus a
$z field after the copy field. For example:
$b rhlisrc $h 658.1 $i R445le $t 1 $z Innovation LLC
Oversized Books - We give these books the code for Circulating Collection and also label them with a “q”
before the call number. For example:
30. 30
$b rhlikc $k q $h 759 $i B388s $t 1 = q 759 B388s

Module 8: Cataloging Tips
Finding and Adding Subject Headings
Subject headings are located in the 650 field, and we usually prefer to have at least 3 on a record. If you get a record that
does not have at least 3, there are multiple places that you can look to find more to add to the record (by the way, just hit
F3 in Voyager to add an additional field).
Urbana Free Library - http://urbanafreelibrary.org/
o The Urbana Free Library does all of its own cataloging and will add subject headings to a record that
doesn’t have any. When you search for a book in the catalog, just look for Subjects in the blurb next to
the picture of the book. This will show you all the subject headings attached to that record. To see how
they are structured in a MARC view, you can scroll down the book record to Librarian’s View, which will
show how the subject headings with the subfields in the MARC format.
Worldcat
o Worldcat can be found on the library’s homepage. Just click on it and then you will have to click a link
that says OCLC DATABASES.
o In the search boxes, you can change the fields and type in the title and author of the book. Click Search or
hit enter and you will get a list of results. Find the one you want and select the link underneath the title
that says Libraries Worldwide.
o Clicking on that link will bring up a list of libraries that will have the book. Go through them and see if
any of them have more than one or two subject headings in their records. Be warned that some of the
systems are different and sometimes you will have to search through the record to find the subject
headings. Regardless, in a fully displayed record, you can find the subject headings next to either the
Subjects or the Subject Terms (depends on the catalog).
o Once you have found the subject headings, also look to see if there is an option for a Librarian’s View or
a MARC Display or Catalog Record. These will usually be what the MARC view of the record is called,
and you can use this to see what subfields are used throughout the subject heading.
o You just add these subject headings into the record by hitting F3 on the keyboard and typing in a 650
field (the second indicator will be 0). After you are finished putting in all the information, don’t forget to
click the Save to DB icon.
