  1. Classification Preparatory Programme on UGC-NET: Library and Information Science 18th June, 2011 St.JosephCollege,Trichy C.RANGANATHAN Assistant Professor Department of LIS,BDU,Trichy.

  2. Classification Derived from “Latin” word “Classic” MeaningProcess of grouping Putting together (un) like entities Arrangements of ideas /objects in a systematic order

  3. Library Classification Arrangement of documents in the most helpful and permanent order To classify the subjects of the documents. Classification is a process of grouping like entities to gather and separating unlike entities. Definitions Arrangement of books on shelves or description of them in the manner which is most helpful to those who read - W.C.B Sayers

  4. Classification in its simplest statement is, the putting together of similar things or more fully described, it is the arranging of things according to likeness and unlikeness - Margaret Mann Library classification is the translation of the name of the subject of a book into a preferred artificial language of ordinal numbers, and the individualization of several books dealing with the same specific subject by means of a further set of ordinal numbers which represent some feelings (features) of the books other than their thought content.” -SRR

  5. Numbers Cardinal numbers Used for counting purpose Ordinal numbers Used for arranging or ordering things (Library classification uses ordinal numbers) NotationOrdered serial of symbols representing termsPure - DDC Mixed - UDC, CC

  6. Structure of Subjects DichotomyDivision into two (Binary classification - 0,1) Further divided into two (Tree of porphyry) Living Organism PlantsAnimals Non-FlowingFloweringVertebratesInvertebrates

  7. Decachotomy - Division into Ten (DDC, UDC) Polychotomy - Division into Many - CA Cutter introduced in expensive classification (S R Ranganathan’s CC) Decachotomy - Continuous growth of new subjects - Dynamic

  8. Classification Base

  9. Pattern of Library Classification 1. Analytico Synthetic Classification(or)Faceted a. Rigidly faceted - CC upto 3rd ed. b. Almost faceted - Bibliographic classification (Bliss) - UDC c. Almost freely faceted - CC - 6th - 5th - 4th d. Freely faceted - CC - 7th 2. Enumerative Classification a. Almost enumerated - DDC 21st - Subject classification (Brown) b. Fully - International Classification (Rider) c. Purely - LOC Classification

  10. Schemes of Library Classification

  11. Principles of Classification

  12. Mnemonics Derived from ‘Greek’ word Meaning - Aids to memory Types 1. Alphabetical(CC) D5135 Y Yamaha Motor Cycle) 2. Schedule(DDC) 378.54Higher education in India 331.2954 Wages in India (CC) L17:4 Diseases of neck L185:4 Diseases of eye 3. Systematic(Guiding principles) Helpful sequence (order) 4. Seminal(Use one and the same digit to denote seminally equivalent concepts in whatever subject they may occur) (CC) Disease & social pathology represented by 4

  22. Modes of Formation of Subjects Relation between subjects or components of subjects • Fission • The division of the whole into multiple parts • Adding new subjects without affecting the basic subject • a) Dissection (Asia – China, India, Pakistan) • b) Denudation (Asia – China, India, Tamilnadu)

  23. 2. Fusion (Basic subjects are be obtained) Two or more primary basic subjects are fused together in such a way that each of them loses its individuality Example: Biochemistry (Biology and Chemistry) Medical Jurisprudence (Medicine and Law)

  24. 3. Lamination The process of overlaying one facet on another Kind I: Example: 1. Flowering Plants Basic Subject Isolate Facet Isolate Facet Botany Plants Flowering Kind II: 1. Urban Youths 2. Middle class rural Women (Combination of isolate ideas)

  25. 4. Loose Assemblage(Complex Subjects) Kind I : Inter-Subject (Economics and Political Science) Kind II : Intra-Facet (Cataloguing and Classification) Kind III : Intra-Array (CC and DDC) 5. Agglomeration(Adding together) (Formerly Partial Comprehension) Kind I : Consecutive basic subjects (Physical Sciences, Biological Science) Kind II : Non-Consecutive basic subjects (History and Economics)

  26. 6. Cluster(Subject bundle) Concentration on a particular point Example: Gandhiana, Indology 7. Distillation(Pure subjects evolved) Example:Research Methodology
