By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New York : The H. W. Wilson Company, c1934Description: xvi, 335 pages ; 22 cmSubject(s): LOC classification:
  • Z 696 .B5 1934
Contents:
Part I. The problem, the principles, structure and system -- Part II. Classifying, subject-cataloging and bibliography -- Part III. Criticisms of historic library classifications
Summary: That this difficult, repressed, yet pervasive problem is real and inevitable is shown in the first chapter of this book. It is likely to become more so in the changing world of libraries. Problems now are more than men or women, and subjects more than authors. Studies are less for culture and more for emergent questions. When these have been answered, readers with more leisure will return to educational and intellectual interests. These too they will approach as subjects.
