Library Science Teaches Facilitating content discovery is all about creating and using effective access points Picture by: pathfinderlinden

Access Points An access point is anything that you would want to use as way to fetch a certain piece of information An Access Point can be: a search term (keyword) search phrase something as specific as a product number or another coded number that identifies a smaller point (clause in a contract) a date (everything by a person in a certain time period) a title an author a company

Then Add: Scope Scope is a way to break up data so you can pull it out and group it in ways that are useful to the users Childrens materials Fiction Non-fiction Spanish You dont necessarily care what the bucket is, you just want a bucket
