Overview

This book covers all of the major library classification schemes in use in Europe, UK and US; it includes practical exercises to demonstrate their application. Importantly, the book includes classifying electronic resources. The aim of the book is to demystify a very complex subject, and to provide a sound theoretical underpinning, together with practical advice and development of practical skills. The book fills the gap between more complex theoretical texts and those books with a purely practical approach. The book concentrates purely on classification rather than cataloguing and indexing, ensuring a more in-depth coverage of the topic.
