Synopsis

Plan a smarter library with a practical classification system that adapts to any collection.

This book presents a plan for classifying books on the shelves and in printed catalogues. It explains how a library can move from a simple arrangement by size or accession to a logical, subject-based system that remains flexible as collections grow.

  • Learn the main class structure and how to apply it to different libraries
  • See how shelf order connects to a usable subject catalogue and index
  • Understand the practical balance between specific classifications and overall consistency
  • Explore how existing systems influenced the author’s approach and how to adapt them today
Ideal for librarians, library students, and anyone interested in the history and practice of book organization.
