"A library classification is a system of organization of knowledge in which sources are arranged according to the classification scheme and ordered very systematically."
Different systems used to organize library materials by subject, including the Dewey Decimal Classification and Library of Congress Classification systems.
Cataloging: The process of creating bibliographic records that describe the resources being organized.
Controlled vocabulary: A standardized list of terms used to describe the resources that allows for consistent access to information.
Authority control: The process of ensuring that the names and subjects used in bibliographic records are correct and standardized.
Classification schemes: Systems used to organize resources into classes based on their subject or format.
Subject indexing: Describing the specific subject(s) that a resource covers using standardized vocabulary terms.
Metadata standards: Guidelines for describing and organizing resources in a consistent way.
MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging) format: A standard for encoding bibliographic information in a computer-readable format.
Dewey Decimal Classification: A widely-used classification system for organizing library resources by subject.
Library of Congress Classification: Another widely-used classification system for organizing library resources by subject.
FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records): A conceptual model for organizing bibliographic information into distinct levels.
RDA (Resource Description and Access): A set of cataloging rules used to create bibliographic records.
Linked Data: A method for interconnecting data across different sources to enable seamless discoverability and retrieval of bibliographic resources.
Digital Libraries: Repositories of digital resources that can be accessed and searched remotely.
Discovery systems: Software applications that enable users to search for and locate specific bibliographic resources.
Information retrieval: The process of accessing information or data from a large set of resources based on specific criteria or queries.
Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC): A hierarchical classification system designed to organize library materials by subject. It consists of ten main classes, each divided into ten divisions, and further subdivided into smaller sections.
Library of Congress Classification (LCC): A classification system developed by the Library of Congress to organize library materials based on subject. It uses a combination of letters and numbers to assign each book a unique call number.
Universal Decimal Classification (UDC): A classification system designed to organize library materials by subject. It consists of ten main classes, each divided into ten divisions, and further subdivided into smaller sections. It is used primarily in Europe.
Colon Classification System (CCS): A classification system developed by S. R. Ranganathan that uses symbols to represent concepts, making it easier to translate between languages. It is based on the idea of facet analysis, which breaks down a subject into multiple aspects.
Bliss Classification System: A classification system developed by H. E. Bliss that uses a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to represent concepts. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different subject areas.
American National Standard for Information Sciences: Permanence of Paper for Printed Library Materials (ANSI/NISO Z39.48-1984): A standard used to determine the long-term durability of paper used for library materials.
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR): A conceptual model that defines the relationships between different types of bibliographic information. It is designed to improve access to library materials by making it easier to navigate through related works.
Resource Description and Access (RDA): A set of cataloging rules designed to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2). It provides guidelines for describing and categorizing library materials in digital as well as physical formats.
MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging) Standards: A standard for encoding bibliographic information in machine-readable format. It is used by libraries to create and distribute electronic bibliographic records.
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI): A standard for encoding metadata that describes digital resources. It is designed to make it easier to share and discover online resources.
"Library classifications are a notational system that represents the order of topics in the classification and allows items to be stored in the order of classification."
"Library classification systems group related materials together, typically arranged as a hierarchical tree structure."
"No, items are stored in the order of classification."
"Yes, a different kind of classification system, called a faceted classification system, is also widely used."
"A faceted classification system allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classifications to be ordered in many ways."
