Library Classification and Information Technology
A library classification is a system of coding and organising library materials according to their subject and allocating a call number to that information resource. Similar to classification systems used in biology, bibliographic classification systems group entities that are similar together typically arranged in a hierarchical tree structure.
This book attempts to provide a detailed study of the impacts of information technology in library classification and also the latest developments that have been made in this area. Introducing the nature and purposes of library classification, the book discusses in detail the canons, principles and laws, which evaluate a scheme of classification. The book is ideally suited to students and researchers of library and information science and library professionals alike.
