Synopsis

This book introduces a new library classification system, acting as a guide for both readers and library staff. For readers, this system simplifies finding books on any given subject within the library; books on the same topic are grouped together and numbered sequentially. This book further streamlines the process of locating literature by using letters to designate primary subject groups and numbers for secondary subgroupings. The author details the system's creation and implementation, explaining how it is an improvement over previous library organization methods. Additionally, the text provides insight into the history and evolution of library classification systems, tracing their development from ancient times to the present day. This book offers a comprehensive examination of library classification systems, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in library science or the history of information organization.
