Streamline your library with a practical system for classifying and numbering books.
This volume explains a method to divide, arrange, and locate books by broad classes and precise shelf numbers. It shows how a general library can be organized for quick access, using letters instead of numbers to designate primary and secondary groups. The aim is to make every item easy to find without constantly consulting a catalog.
Designed for large collections, the system covers biographies, fiction, science, travel, and more. It outlines how to maintain alphabetical order within sub-classes and how to insert new works without losing order. The book also includes a detailed synopsis of the new classification and examples from a real library setup.
- How primary classes and sub-classes are defined and named
- Rules for shelving authors alphabetically and grouping biographies
- A numbering scheme that supports indefinite growth while preserving order
- Practical guidance for applying the system in a busy mercantile library
Ideal for librarians, catalogers, and library managers seeking a clear, scalable approach to organizing large collections.
