Resources
LIB 630 Classification and Cataloging
Spring 2012
Why organize a collection?
Why Organize Your Library?
An organized . . . library should be
efficient to use so you know what
resources you have and exactly where
they are.
• Adapted from a Q & A for Lentz Libraries Architecture and
Design Library Services

The Alternative is like the Net!
Michael Gorman:

A technical definition
Cataloging
The process of creating entries
for a catalog. In libraries, this
usually includes bibliographic
description, subject analysis, assignment
of classification notation, and activities
involved in physically preparing the item
for the shelf, tasks usually performed
under the supervision of a librarian
trained as a cataloger.
• Online Dictionary for
Library and Information Science

Elements of cataloging
 From ODLIS definition:
1. bibliographic description
2. subject analysis
3. assignment of classification notation
(meaning the symbols used by the
classification system)
4. activities involved in physically preparing the
item for the shelf
The bottom line in cataloging?
8
So, what is cataloging?
Cataloging :
Is the whole process of preparing an
item
1. So that a library user knows that it
exists in the library or at another
library (adding it to the catalog; this is
cataloging proper)
– Involves description for access points (possible
search points like title, author, etc.) according
to strict standards with stringent punctuation
rules
2. So that a library user can locate it on
the shelf (classification)
9
What is classification?
Library classification
 system of arrangement adopted by a library to
enable patrons to find its materials quickly and
easily. While cataloging provides information
on the physical and topical nature of the book
(or other item), classification, through
assignment of a call number (consisting of class
designation and author representation), locates
the item in its library setting and, ideally, in the
realm of knowledge.
• Current predominating systems include the Dewey
Decimal Classification, the Library of Congress
Classification, the Bliss Classification, and the Colon
Classification; many special and research libraries
devise their own unique systems.
10
What about “categorization”?
Arranging a collection by category:
Format (e.g. oversized vs. regular size;
picture books vs. chapter books)
Genre (fiction vs. nonfiction, and
further subdividing within fiction:
fantasy/science fiction, historical fiction,
etc.)
Level (lexiles or grade level or AR level,
etc.)
11
One way to look at arranging by category

  • 10. What is classification? Library classification  system of arrangement adopted by a library to enable patrons to find its materials quickly and easily. While cataloging provides information on the physical and topical nature of the book (or other item), classification, through assignment of a call number (consisting of class designation and author representation), locates the item in its library setting and, ideally, in the realm of knowledge. • Current predominating systems include the Dewey Decimal Classification, the Library of Congress Classification, the Bliss Classification, and the Colon Classification; many special and research libraries devise their own unique systems. 10
  • 11. What about “categorization”? Arranging a collection by category: Format (e.g. oversized vs. regular size; picture books vs. chapter books) Genre (fiction vs. nonfiction, and further subdividing within fiction: fantasy/science fiction, historical fiction, etc.) Level (lexiles or grade level or AR level, etc.) 11
