Classification now has to encompass 'non-physical' media such as
the Internet, yet still ensure access to knowledge held in
traditional physical forms on library shelves. What does this mean
for the future, and can classification cope with the virtual
library? Written by a group of internationally-known specialists,
this book reassesses traditional classification principles and the
extent to which they provide the right basis for modern information
storage and retrieval. First posing the radical question of whether
classification is still really necessary, the book proceeds by
emphasizing the need for systematic knowledge organization, with
two chapters concentrating on classification in relation to IT and
the Internet. Later chapters re-examine how present systems - Dewey
Decimal Classification, Universal Decimal Classification and
Library of Congress Classification - are likely to adapt, and
provide a wealth of information sources for investigating the
subject further. The Future of Classification delves deep into what
makes knowledge-seeking successful. Those studying information
storage and retrieval, and managers wanting to improve retrieval
methods on which their service depends should read it.
