Sinopsis

Explore how bibliographic classification works, not just its symbols. This concise study examines four major systems—The Subject Classification, The Decimal Classification, The Expansive Classification, and the Library of Congress Classification—and explains how to judge their order, subdivision, notation, and indexing. It helps readers move from confusion to a clear, practical view of how libraries arrange knowledge.

- Learn why classification is more than just a set of numbers or letters.
- See the tests and rules used to compare and critique different schemes.
- Discover how each system handles notation and indexing, and what that means for real libraries.
- Understand the historical development and practical applications behind major bibliographic schemes.

Ideal for students and professionals in library science, and for readers seeking a grounded, accessible view of how classification shapes library organization.

Excerpt from Canons of Classification Applied to the Subject, the Expansive, the Decimal and the Library of Congress Classifications: A Study in Bibliographical Classification Method

I do not think the above examination is an easy one, but I am convinced that most Of the problems of theoretical classification are contained in it and the student who in four hours can compass the questions satisfactorily, without reference to his text-books, has a fair chance of satisfying even a rigorous examiner. It is my hope that the pages which follow will be a substantial contribution towards their solution.
