Synopsis
A practical guide to how science is organized in libraries, with insights into classification decisions.
This book explains how Library of Congress Class Q is structured and used in real catalogs. It notes that geographical and subject divisions help users find works, and it discusses why some changes are not yet made because of workload and labor. The text also shows how related classes (like mathematics, geology, and zoology) are connected under broader schedules.
- Learn how a large library groups science topics by general classes and by specific subjects.
- See how notes and proposed revisions influence future cataloging decisions.
- Understand the relationship between broad classifications and more detailed breakdowns within QA, QE, QL, and related areas.
- Get a sense of the historical context behind cataloging choices in a major national library.
