Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
library classificationSystem of arrangement adopted by a library to enable patrons to locate its materials quickly and easily. Classifications may be natural (e.g., by subject), artificial (e.g., by alphabet, form, or numerical order), or accidental (e.g., chronological or geographic). They also vary in degree; some have minute subdivisions while others are broader. Widely used systems include the Dewey Decimal Classification, the Library of Congress Classification, the Bliss Classification, and the Colon Classification; special libraries may devise their own unique systems.

The Universal Decimal Classification system was not developed as a library classification, Taylor said, but rather as a means to organize and analyze documents. Norton and Norton (2000) found that most students were not very good at using the computer catalogue or the library classification scheme to find material. |
