Abridged Decimal Classification And Relativ Index For Libraries Clippings Notes Etc PDF Download

Excerpt from Abridged Decimal Classification and Relativ Index for Libraries, Clippings, Notes, Etc A library recently adopted the plan of putting all books of a division together, if they had but few; e. G. All mathematical works were markt 510. It took just as many ngures, cost just as much labor in most cases, and, if a man wanted the one calculus in the whole library, he had to search through the 150 volumes in 510, when otherwise he would instantly have found it standing alone as 517. A teacher showing his pupils the material on any subject, if there are only 20 books, would surely put together those covering the same points, even if there were but two. Much more should librarians group closely their greater collections, that readers may gain something of the advantages of an experienced guide.
