A New Manual Of Classification

A New Manual of Classification

Building upon the work of its predecessor, Sayer's Manual of Classification for Librarians, 5th ed., this new manual provides a clear overview of classification theory, policy, and practice, and provides a description of the major general classification systems. While much material is taken from the earlier editions virtually unchanged, an effort is made to make the information as current as possible when discussing work in progress today. Both US and British positions on issues are represented. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Music Classification Systems

This volume is designed to introduce the principles of music classification to beginning music catalogers, as well as to non-specialist catalogers, and those who only occasionally deal with music materials. It will surely relieve the stress level for general catalogers by providing practical guidelines as well as clarifying and explaining the most commonly used classification systems in the United States--the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), the Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and the Alpha-Numeric System for Classification of Recordings (ANSCR).
