Steps In Designing a Classification Scheme for Micro-Subjects

[Lija K John]

Dear Friends,

I am a MLISc Student in University of Kerala. 

I have got a seminar topic which i have cited above. I have searched many sources for any article related to it. But without any success. I would be much grateful if I can get any article or name of books or anything relevant to it in 2-3 days.

Thanking you all in anticipation,

Lija

Dear Ms. Lija,

Regarding your query, have you searched LISA ? The type of material you are trying for is basically theoretical and only a few journals concentrate on such issues. You may try at IFLA site. I have LISA database in CD ROM in my personal collection but it is rather old.If you require, I can search and send the abstract of any requisite document if available. But as I understand about Classification theory, you need to  consult a thesaurus for context vocabulary. What you intend to do is sort of depth Classification of a certain micro subject (presumably with two points after the decimal in DDC, for example) In case you have any Depth Classification Schedule of UDC, you may consult it. It will be helpful for you to understand how the subjects are further subdivided on the basis of Genus-Specis relationship. You may also consult Prolegomena & chapters on Chain Indexing and Classified Catalogue Codes all by SRR. I believe all the three materials are available in your University Department. If your topic is just to the narrate the steps involved in designing CS, I am feel that if you consult the above three books and any Depth Schedule, you will have an idea so that you can prepare a formal write up of 3-4 pages and you can demonstrate in your seminar talk with some Power Point Presentations of skeletal structures and easily tide over around 15-20 minutes.

Wish you good luck in your venture!

Dear Ms. John,

Thanks for your post. I have searched the LISA database and attaching the downloaded references with abstracts. As I told you the database is rather old but still, can have an idea about the works.
