New System of Classification and Scheme for Numbering Books, Applied to the Mercantile Library of Philadelphia (Classic Reprint) by John Edmands Pdf

Excerpt from New System of Classification and Scheme for Numbering Books, Applied to the Mercantile Library of Philadelphia The general idea of this system is, First, the division and arrangement of the books, in such principal and subordinate classes, as will make it most easy to determine what works the Library contains, on any topic, and in what part of the collection books on any given subject are to be found; and, Second, the numbering and arranging them on the shelves in such a way that they can be most readily found without consulting a catalogue, or stopping, to ascertain the shelf number. In working out this idea it was found that all the books in any library of a general character, could be gathered into about twenty primary groups or classes, each of which would have a certain completeness, and would embrace a kind of book that was not included in any other class; and also, that the works in each of these several groups or classes, while having certain characteristics in common, yet had peculiarities which furnish ground for the formation of subordinate classes. Some of these primary classes could readily be divided into fifteen or more secondary classes, while others required only six or eight; and it seemed altogether best, to make such an arrangement of classes, and sub-classes, as would be at once recognized as natural and convenient in practical operation. In making this distribution into classes, it was found that about one half of the old divisions in the Library, could be retained as primary classes in the new arrangement, with more or less of transferring of individual books; among these classes are those of History, Biography, Theology, Fine Arts and Medicine. In other cases, two or more of the old classes were found to embrace works that had close affinities with each other, and so they were consolidated to form new primary classes; thus, the old divisions of Poetry and Drama, have been united to form one primary class, under the compound name; and the three former classes, Natural Philosophy, Astronomy and Mathematics, have been united into one, under the name of Mathematics and Physics. The old classes of Commerce and Agriculture has been consolidated with that of Useful Arts; and that of Political Economy has been combined with Sociology and Law.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Guide to the Library of Congress Classification by Lois Mai Chan,Sheila S. Intner,Jean Weihs Pdf

Like earlier editions, this thoroughly updated sixth edition of the classic textbook provides readers with a basic understanding of the Library of Congress Classification system and its applications. The Library of Congress Classification system is used in academic, legal, medical, and research libraries throughout North America as well as worldwide; accordingly, catalogers and librarians in these settings all need to be able to use it. The established gold standard text for Library of Congress Classification (LCC), the sixth edition of Guide to the Library of Congress Classification updates and complements the classic textbook's coverage of cataloging in academic and research libraries. Clear and easy to understand, the text describes the reasoning behind assigning subject headings and subheadings, including use of tables; explains the principles, structure, and format of LCC; details notation, tables, assigning class numbers, and individual classes; and covers classification of special types of library materials. The last chapter of this perennially useful resource addresses the potential role of classification in libraries of the future.
