There are many standard systems of library classification in use, and many more have been proposed over the years. These include the Library of Congress classification (LC) and the [Dewey decimal classification]? (DDC), which are the most common systems in the English-speaking world. Other less commonly used classification systems include the Bliss bibliographic classification, the Colon classification and the [Universal decimal classification]?. These systems while less commonly used than the LC or DDC are often considered to be theoretically superior, since they make use of the principle of synthesis (combining codes from different lists to represent the different attributes of a work), which is comparitively lacking in LC or DDC. |
