‘Library Thesaurus’

A Thesaurus is a list of concepts or words arranged according to sense or chosen for use in indexing. A Thesaurus does four important things:

• It creates a set of agreed terms that are relevant

• It encourages discipline or rigour in the use of terms

• It helps to identify when a term needs to be revised

• A carefully constructed Thesaurus can encourage thinking about cause and effect, as well as embracing our ‘ways of knowing’.
