Abstract


The ultimate function of a lending library is to serve its users to their satisfaction. A classification is a tool to manage a library. By definition it is an arrangement of information material in a way useful to the majority of the users. In other words it is a rational sequence of maximum utility. Convenience of library users is a weighty consideration, if not the overriding one in a classification. It is always advised to put a book at the most useful place. Practical utility must govern all arrangements feel many librarians and classifiers.
