Synopsis
A practical guide to organizing a library with a time-tested classification system.
This second enlarged edition explains how the Order of Classification is built and used in the Sion College Library. It shows how press-marking, subject groups, and an appended index help staff and readers locate volumes quickly. Though rooted in historical methods, the volume emphasizes reliable, long‑lasting organization that keeps shelves orderly even as collections grow.
- Learn how to assign main divisions (such as Theology and History) and subgroups that match real library needs.
- Discover how decimal press-m marks and author initials guide you to exact volumes within a group.
- See practical examples of how subjects are sequenced and how the accompanying index speeds up finding titles.
- Understand the rationale behind the organization, so you can apply similar principles in other libraries.
