SUMMARY:BIC's Thema: Essentials Half-Day Training Course (online)
DESCRIPTION:Thema is the global subject classification scheme for the book trade. This course explains its origins\, development\, uptake\, benefits & more\n\n\nBIC Thema: Essentials half-day training course (online)\n#bictraining \n  \nPurpose of the Course  \nThis course provides an introduction to Thema – the international subject classification scheme for the global book trade – explaining the need for such a scheme; its origins\, development and uptake; its benefits across the trade; and the principles of implementing Thema in systems and product records.  \nAfter examining the key differences (and similarities) between Thema and the legacy schemes it is designed to replace\, the course will provide delegates with the opportunity to experiment and have hands-on experience with applying correct Thema codes. \n  \nBenefits of Attending\nAs part of BIC’s suite of metadata training courses\, this course will provide an introduction to the Thema subject classification scheme in the context of wider metadata best practice. Delegates will discover the benefits and rapid growth of Thema in both a global and UK context\, and explore the key features of implementing Thema in systems and managing the migration from BIC (the current UK standard) to Thema\, looking at the available tools and supporting documentation. \nDelegates will gain an understanding of the structure and application of Thema codes\, concluding with the opportunity for practical\, hands-on experience of allocating Thema codes\, with a view to demonstrating how accurate subject classification is essential for effective search and discovery in-store and online. \n  \nCourse Level\nThis course is aimed at anyone with an interest in book product data quality in general\, and book subject classification in particular. Whatever your background\, whether from an editorial\, marketing or systems perspective\, this course is relevant to individuals from all professional disciplines within the trade. Some familiarity with bibliographic subject classification (e.g. use of schemes such as BIC\, BISAC or Thema) is assumed\, but not considered essential. \n  \nCourse Outline  \nPrior to the course\, delegates will be contacted to enquire whether they have any specific areas of concern / interest.
