Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library
The plan of the following Classification and Index was developed early in 1873. It was the result of several months' study of library economy as found in some hundreds of books and pamphlets, and in over fifty personal visits to various American libraries. In this study, the author became convinced that the useful ness of these libraries might be greatly increased without additional expenditure. Three years practical use of the system here explained, leads him to believe that it will accomplish this result; for with its aid, the catalogues, shelf lists, indexes, and cross-references essential to this increased usefulness, can be made more economically than by any other method which he has been able to find. The system was devised for cataloguing and indexing purposes, but it was found on trial to be equally valuable for numbering and arranging books and pamphlets on the shelves.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1876, offers a groundbreaking system for organizing and classifying knowledge. It was the culmination of the authorââ â¢s extensive research into library economy, involving visits to hundreds of libraries and a deep study of the subject. The author aimed to improve the efficiency and usefulness of libraries without increasing expenditures. The core of the book lies in its meticulously crafted classification system. It assigns a unique numerical code to each subject, division, and section of knowledge, allowing for an incredibly detailed yet systematic arrangement of books on shelves. This system, which the author spent years developing and refining, is based on a decimal principle, creating a hierarchical structure that encompasses a wide range of disciplines. The author explores the challenges of creating a truly comprehensive classification system, acknowledging the inherent limitations of organizing all human knowledge. He emphasizes the importance of practical usefulness, arguing that a system should prioritize the needs of students and researchers rather than theoretical perfection. The book also touches on the use of mnemonic devices within the classification scheme, making it easier to recall and locate books without resorting to detailed catalogues. The book presents a revolutionary approach to library management, highlighting the potential for efficiency and accessibility within the vast realm of knowledge. It provides a valuable framework for both librarians and scholars seeking to navigate the ever-growing body of written works. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780243159246_0
