A THEORETICAL APPROACH TO CATALOGUING AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM BY M. RATHAN JYOTHY [HARDCOVER]

A theoretical approach to cataloging and classification involves establishing fundamental principles and frameworks to organize information logically and make it accessible to users. Key figures like S.R. Ranganathan developed hierarchical principles to guide practical library systems, focusing on logical arrangement, user needs, and a comprehensive understanding of knowledge. Theoretical approaches also consider different classification structures, such as hierarchical and faceted systems, and the application of these concepts beyond traditional libraries to various information resources and user queries.
