THE DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION
PAR
M. MAY SEYMOUR.
Origin. —â– The Décimal Classification was the outgrowth of a study of actual library conditions and Systems, both through the lite-rature of library economy and through personal examination of the workings of about half a hundred libraries. The methods formerly used involved frequent remarking and rearrangement of books and remaking of catalogues and indexes as the only escape from a confusion that seriously crippled usefulness.
To keep a growing class together, room for its new books must be made by moving adjoining classes ; and location numbers dépendent on room or shelf must be changed as often as a book moves to a new place. The alternatives accepted as therefore inévitable were either order at a great waste of time and money, or confusion from shel-ving books out of sequence to save the cost of change.
The great need was a System which should enable each librarian to stand on the shoulders of his predecessors and fully utilize their labors, wich should make the work done today permanent, instead of something to be superseded within a few years and therefore not wnrth doing in the best way.
Plan. — The solution of the probl. m offercd by the Décimal Classification was a System using only the simplest symbols known, arabic mimerais, in a way to tell both where books were and what they were about. In this svstem numbers dénoté subjects and are put on ail books and on the shelves in movable label holders. E. g. the subject number for the history of France is 944. Therefore every history of France is numbered 944 and under the first book bearing this number is a label reading | 944 History of France. |
Where this subject ends is clearly shown by vacant shelves or by a similar label at the beginning of the succeeding subject. Frequent
