This thesaurus showcases my skills in indexing, research, written communication, and identification and incorporation of user needs; and demonstrates my extensive knowledge in the field of religious studies. It meets PLO 1 by applying foundational information organization skills such as thesaural structure and classified schedules; and adheres to the field’s fundamental value of creating user-centered services.

The thesaurus further addresses core competencies for cataloging and metadata through the building of a controlled vocabulary and indexing structure, documentation of local decisions and practices, and -through its representation of a broad range of belief systems- demonstration of respect for diverse cultures, values, and perspectives.
