Classifying CYAC Material - Children’s and Young Adults’ Cataloging Program (CYAC): Cooperative Programs (Cataloging and Acquisitions, Library of Congress)
Generally, either the Library of Congress Classification or Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) is used to arrange juvenile material. These systems allow you to arrange books and other library materials by topic. Items cataloged by the Library of Congress are assigned an LC Classification number, displayed in the 050 field, and a DDC number, displayed in the 082 field. Regardless of which you choose to use, you must follow the practices and procedures outlined in each system, although there is nothing wrong with making adjustments to suit your patrons in your local catalog.

McMindfulness by Ronald Purser; Mindfulness by Christina Feldman and Willem Kuyken – review
In a frequently quoted passage, the American professor of medicine Jon Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as “a way of being in a wise and purposeful relationship with one’s experience… cultivated by systematically exercising one’s capacity for paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally”. It sounds harmless enough. But San Francisco-based academic Ronald Purser thinks not. He has written a strident polemic attacking the secular mindfulness movement.

Children’s Subject Headings (CSH) List - Children’s and Young Adults’ Cataloging Program (CYAC): Cooperative Programs (Cataloging and Acquisitions, Library of Congress)
The Children’s and Young Adult’s Cataloging Program provides cataloging tailored to the needs of children and young adults who use school and public libraries. The CYAC Program catalogs items by creating bibliographic records complete with Children’s Subject Headings and a brief noncritical summary to offer easier subject access to those materials. CYAC catalogers apply current Library of Congress subject cataloging policies and practices, supplemented by CYAC policies. Note that MARC 21 coding is used to distinguish between Library of Congress Subject Headings (650 #0) and Children’s Subject Headings (650 #1). The catalog records are available from many sources because of their inclusion in the Library of Congress MARC database and the Cataloging-In-Publication Program. The cataloging records are available from several sources, as described in About the Program.
