Summary:
"This is a book about some of the systems which people have created for organizing information. It also examines the problems we face in sorting out the relationships between subjects, and imposing order on chaos. It's about the nature of knowledge as it is found in books and other information-carrying media. It is also first and foremost a book about how to classify. The emphasis throughout is on the activity of classification rather than the theory, the practical problems of the organization of collections, and the needs of users"--Page [1].
