Abstract

Classification is a crucial skill for all information workers involved in organizing collections. This new edition offers fully revised and updated guidance on how to go about classifying a document from scratch. Essential Classification leads the novice classifier step by step through the basics of subject cataloguing, with an emphasis on practical document analysis and classification. It deals with fundamental questions of the purpose of classification in different situations, and the needs and expectations of end users. The reader is introduced to the ways in which document content can be assessed, and how this can best be expressed for translation into the language of specific indexing and classification systems. Fully updated to reflect changes to the major general schemes (Library of Congress, LCSH, Dewey and UDC) since the first edition, and with new chapters on working with informal classification, from folksonomies to tagging and social media, this new edition will set cataloguers on the right path.

Abstract

This new manual builds upon the work of its predecessor "Sayer's manual of classification for librarians" 5th edition. It aims to maintain the traditions established by "Sayer's" and seeks to fulfil the same aims - that is to provide a clear and comprehensible overview of classification theory, policy and practice, and to provide a description of the major general classification systems. Much valuable material has been taken from the earlier editions, but every effort has been made to make the coverage of work today as current as possible. This would apply, for instance, in the discussions on the use of classification in a variety of environments, and when investigating the impact of new technology. In this sense the book is very much a "new" manual. Now that classification is taught and studied in very different ways and levels in library and information schools, a book which surveys, summarises and comments on the enormous body of work that exists on classification will be very useful to lecturers, students and librarians.
