Hi, Chantal,

The Library of Congress has recently published our online LCC training on the Catalogers’ Learning Workshop (https://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/)-- see Library of Congress Classification: Online Training. The LCC training is in the same format as our LCSH training (on the same page). It’s all free—take a look.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] LC Easy program alternatives?

Our library wants to get a new version of the LC Easy test program, and before we do, we are wondering if there's an alternative out there to training new library employees in learning the LC call number system. Are there any other programs, or is LC Easy the gold standard (or the only option)?

Also, our version of LC Easy seems to be quite old; I can't even tell what version it is, at least not remotely - though, looking at the dates attached to the files, it may be from 1998 (! is that possible??). Before we spend $100, does anyone know if the new version, LC Easy 4.0, is actually an upgrade? (I see there's a demo but I do not want to download to my personal laptop.)

Thanks!
