Controlled Vocabulary List: toy, game, interactive, play, puzzle, plastic

This activity was more difficult than I thought it would be. I struggled a bit to think of keywords that were more generic for all of the items. While all of the items were either toys or games, they didn’t all fall under the same type of toy or game. Because of this it took a lot of thought to make sure the words in my vocabulary list encompassed all of my items.

In order to create MARC entries for the items I would need some more information such as control numbers and identifiers tag, length, and starting location numbers. I’m not going to lie; this looks like a pretty challenging task!
