Annotated bibliography of universal classification systems, subject heading lists for indexing, and thesauruses - also contains correlation tables between Universal Decimal Classification and Information Coding Classification, and an account of the ICC information science approach to thesaurus construction.

This book provides a coherent account of the Theory of Classification. It discusses the contribution made by theoreticians like E.C. Richardson, J.D. Brown, W. Hulum, W.C. Berwick Sayers, H.E. Bliss and S.R. Ranganathan. However, the theory put forward by S.R. Ranganathan predominates the whole book because his contribution is far more than anybody else’s. Five major schemes of Classification, Library of Congress Classification, Colon Classification and Bliss Biblio-Graphic Classification have also been discussed.
