Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

BSBINS505 - Provide subject access and classify material

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Analyse and create subject headings

  1. Analyse subject content of material using knowledge of general concepts and principles of bibliographic control, relevant standards and customer needs
  2. Identify and select subject headings according to relevant standards
  3. Construct sufficient headings to enhance access to information using standards and authorities lists
  4. Consult with relevant stakeholders to determine systematic and reasonable approaches to cataloguing complex material
  5. Use chosen classification systems to reflect knowledge of principles of organisation
  6. Select a classification number consistent with classification system that reflects understanding of subject content and provides ready access for relevant stakeholders
  7. Check catalogues for previously assigned classification numbers for similar items
