Synopsis

This book classifies the sciences using a system first created in 1854 and further developed by Henry E. Bliss. It is suitable for libraries and other organizations. There are 4 main classes: pure and applied science, mentality and history, law and economics, and religion and language. Pure and applied science is split into 8 divisions, each of which is divided into its own subcategories. The book is set out as a table presenting the codes and the subjects they represent. The book provides a practical and functional tool for scientific research, complementing broader works such as the Library of Congress scheme and Dewey Decimal system. It is unique in the specificity of its subject divisions, and will be of interest to professionals in library and information science. This book provides a way to classify, organize, and manage information and publications for libraries and researchers.
