‘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’.
