Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the book:- Any librarian who has considered books with regard to their contents and the seekers of books with respect to their quests, must have learned, whether selector, classifier, or adviser, that to define, specify and relate the countless subjects and interests is the most complicated and difficult problem in the service of libraries. The opinion that imperfect or confusing classifications can be rendered efficient by means of a correlative alphabetic index to their notations the writer has called "the subject-index illusion." Notation and index are but correlative to classification; they serve it, they locate groups of books, but they do not organize subjects on book-shelves. Librarians have been so preoccupied with the organization of their services and the economics of their profession that they have had scant time to study this problem of the organization of their collection. Nor have the schools for their training treated this interest educatively on broad grounds with expansive views. Libraries should be organized with more adequate regard to the subject-approach. From these considerations we submit that this book should interest not only classifiers and catalogers but all librarians and bibliographers. About the Author:- Henry Evelyn Bliss (1870 1955) was the author of a classification system he called Bibliographic Classification which is often abbreviated to BC and is sometimes called Bliss Classification. He was named one of the 100 most important leaders in the field of library and Information science in the 20th century by American Libraries in December 1999, which praised his "subject approach to information" as "one of the most flexible ever conceived." Despite these praises, Bliss was "met with apathy and even derision in his efforts" during his lifetime. His classification system was generally disregarded in favor of other more established classification systems such as the Dewey Decimal System created by Melvil Dewey and the Library of Congress Classification system, causing "more than one author" to label him as a, "prophet without honor." ? Although Bliss was an American, his system was more popular in British libraries than in American libraries. A second edition of the system has been developed in the United Kingdom in 1977. Several volumes have been published.
