Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classification of Books: A Paper Read Before the American Library Association, May, 1882 The classification is intended to be permanent only so far as the six main classes A E I O U and Y, and their sub-classes a, b, c, d, e, etc., are concerned. In its details it is Open to modification to suit the needs of libraries devoted mainly to the collection of one or a few classes of books. AS the volumes multiply on the shelves, it is Obvious that the divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., can be added to indefinitely, - by each librarian for himself - without deranging the system. Moreover, the divisions can themselves be subdivided by supplying arbitrary marks.

On the other hand, a small library may content itself with the classes and sub-classes marked by letters only, or even with the classes A E I O U Y alone. It is to be remarked in passing that, by this arrangement, whatever improvements may be made from time to time in the details of the system, the books have always a relative, and not a fixed location on the shelves. So that they may be moved from shelf to shelf, from case to case, and from building to building, without altering the Shelf marks.

The system is available, not only for the arrangement of books on the shelves, but also for their classification in a subject catalogue. Indeed, the shelf lists them selves form - when properly made - a subject catalogue, which may be sent Off to the printer as soon as there is money enough to pay for setting them Up in type. It is true that most of the ends of a subject catalogue may be gained by the modern dic tionary catalogue - combining authors and subjects in one alphabet - which it is to the credit Of Mr. Poole to have invented, and Of Messrs. Cutter, Noyes, and others to have developed; but, nevertheless, to my mind, the ideal printed catalogue is a classified one, with a cepious alphabetical index. Suppose that the British Museum had such a printed catalogue to-day, how much would the usefulness of that great Institution be enhanced!

HISTORICAL AND PRACTICAL CHAPTER VII PRELIMINARY ON STUDENTS READING 6o. We have now covered briefly the principles governing the construction of classificatory schemes. It will be our business in the remaining chapters to see, first, how those principles have been applied by the constructors of schemes for the arrangement of books; second, to become familiar with the three or four predominating modern schemes; and third and finally, to consider the rules governing the practical application of such schemes of classification to books and to catalogues, and to discuss the various accessories, mechanical and other, necessary to make clear the features of the scheme adopted to the users of the libraries or catalogues. 61. On the historical side we shall attempt very little detail. Schemes for the classification of knowledge, being of small practical value and requiring more time than we can devote to their consideration, we shall ignore henceforth. Of course we have referred to them again and again in our theoretical lessons, and have demanded a knowledge of the main features of the systems of Porphyry, of Linnaeus, and the Natural System of Botany (and so much, at least, should be familiar to the student); but as every organised science has its classification and the principles of classification design do not vary, the student is now sufficiently acquainted with such systems. With this necessary narrowing of the field we still can only hope to be suggestive, not exhaustive. Much the student must work out personally, but we shall endeavour to give here all necessary indications for his study. 62. The essential textbook is Brown's Library Classification and Cataloguing, and the most complete and useful work, but unfortunately...
