This book was released on 1876 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plan of the following Classification and Index was developed early in 1873. It was the result of several months' study of library economy as found in some hundreds of books and pamphlets, and in over fifty personal visits to various American libraries. In this study, the author became convinced that the usefulness of these libraries might be greatly increased without additional expenditure. Three years practical use of the system here explained, leads him to believe that it will accomplish this result; for with its aid, the catalogues, shelf lists, indexes, and cross references essential to this increased usefulness, can be made more economically than by any other method which he has been able to find. The system was devised for cataloguing and indexing purposes, but it was found on trial to be equally valuable for numbering and arranging books and pamphlets on the shelves.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library: Look inside the book: The predominant tendency or obvious purpose of the book, usually decides its class number at once; still many books treat of two or more different subjects, and in such cases it is assigned to the place where it will be most useful, and underneath the class number are written the numbers of any other subjects on which it also treats. ...By the use of size numbers the greatest possible economy of space may be secured, for the size distinction may be made for every inch or even less if desired, and this without additional labor, as it will be seen that the size figure, when introduced, requires one less figure in the book number, and so does not increase the number of digits as would at first appear. About Melvil Dewey, the Author: Melville Louis Kossuth (Melvil) Dewey (December 10, 1851 – December 26, 1931) was an American librarian and educator, inventor of the Dewey Decimal system of library classification, and a founder of the Lake Placid Club. ...His theories of spelling reform (to which end he founded the Spelling Reform Association in 1886) found some local success at Lake Placid: there is an 'Adirondac Loj' in the area, and dinner menus of the club featured his spelling reform.

Download or read book The Subject Approach to Information written by Antony Charles Foskett and published by London : Bingley ; Hamden, Conn. : Linnet Books. This book was released on 1982 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Subject Approach to Information is a highly readable, comprehensive study of information retrieval methods. For the fourth edition, Professor Foskett has revised and and updated his work to include current developments in all aspects of information storage and retrieval by the subject approach. The theme of the work is the basic similarity of all methods of information retrieval, and the problems which need to be solved in order to obtain good results from any system. The book opens with a consideration of the theory of information retrieval systems and explores both the difficulties and the potential of using computers in this field. The problems and uses of the different pre-coordinate and post-coordinate systems and languages are studied in depth, and there is a close examination of computer-based systems, including videotext and text retrieval, as well as more conventional reference retrieval systems such as DIALOG and Euronet/DIANE. A final chapter describes and discusses a selection of significant evaluative studies in information retrieval.
