ABSTRACT

Classification in a library arranges the documents in classes based on mutual relationship

between them and brings the like classes together and separates them from the unlike classes.
It predominantly acts as the backbone of the library services provided in a library. In this
study an attempt has been made to make an extensive study on how literature schedule is
treated i.e. how class number building approach is carried out with the help of certain
selected titles. An attempt has been made to delineate and outline how the literature schedule
is practiced in different ways in both the classification scheme. By assigning class numbers
according to both the schemes to the titles belonging to literature schedule it has been tried
to outline the nature of treating the literature schedule. In order to get an insight of both the
classification scheme the study is carried out.

Keywords: Classification, DDC, CC, Library Classification, Class Number

1. Introduction

Classification prevails in most of the activities of our life. Being ordered and organized
compels us to make a greater use of classification. The term “Classification” is a derivation
from the Latin word “Classis” which means “Grouping”. The process of classification
actually groups and organizes like entities and separates them from the unlike ones. It places
the like ones together. A major objective of the libraries is to ensure the optimum use of their
collections and to provide access to the collection by leading each user as directly as possible
to the material he or she requires. Library Classification helps in fulfilling those objectives by
arranging documents in a manner that the users are able to perform timely retrieval of
documents in the most convenient way possible. Therefore, it requires a detailed scheme of
classification in which knowledge is divided into a broader perspective, which is again
subdivided into subjects or main classes. Each subject and its divisions along with their
specific aspects are represented by a system of numbers called Notation. It is the notation that
helps in the arrangement of the documents on the shelf. Library Classification aims to create
a system out of disorder and provide a comprehensive view of the documents on a subject.
Library Classification thus provides formal access to the documents in a library.

2. Dewey Decimal Classification: An Overview

The Dewey Decimal classification scheme is the most widely used classification scheme in
the present context. It is used in many libraries all around the world. It was initially
developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876. The DDC is actually an enumerative classification
scheme. The Universe of knowledge is being divided into 10 main classes at the broadest
level again the classes are divided into 10 divisions and those 10 divisions are again divided
into 10 sections. Since the scheme is enumerative in nature it enumerates all the subjects of
past, present and anticipated future in a single schedule in helpful sequence. It enables the
systematic arrangement of all materials with the help of simplified notation and apparent
flexibility. With the emergence of DDC, the criteria of relative location of books on shelf
according to the subject matter became perfectly feasible and it replaced the then existing
 2

practice of a fixed location, when a certain number of shelves were allotted to each subject
and each book was identified by the shelf number and its position on the shelf.

2.1 General Layout of DDC:

The scheme is hierarchical one and proceeds from general to specific. A basic criteria of
DDC is that it is arranged by discipline and not by subject and a specific subject can occur in
any number of disciplines. The universe of knowledge at the broadest level is divided into ten
main classes which cover the entire universe of Knowledge. Each main class is further
divided into 10 divisions and each division is divided into 10 sections.

2.1.1 Summaries:

In the first summary it contains ten Main Classes. The first digit in each three digit number
represents the main class.

000 Computers, information & general reference

100 Philosophy & psychology
200 Religion
300 Social Sciences
400 Language
500 Science
600 Technology
700 Arts & recreation
800 Literature
900 History & geography
Table 1: First Summary of DDC

In the second summary the 10 Main Classes are further divided into 10 Divisions each
resulting in 100 Divisions. The second digit in each 3 digit number indicates the division. For
Literature Main Class the subdivision is-

800 Literature & rhetoric

810 American literature in English
820 English and Old English literatures
830 Literatures of Germanic languages
840 Literature of Romance languages
850 Italian, Romanian & related literatures
860 Spanish & Portugese literatures
870 Italic literatures; Latin literature
880 Hellenic literatures; classical Greek
890 Literatures of other languages
Table 2: Second Summary of DDC

In the third summary the 100 Divisions are further divided into 10 sections each resulting in
1000 sections. The third digit in each three-digit number indicates the section. Thus 800 is
 3

used for Literature & rhetoric, 801 for Philosophy and theory, 802 for Miscellany, 803 for
Dictionaries and encyclopedias.

2.2 Number Building in DDC:

To build a number in DDC instructions given in the schedules is to be followed. The number
generally begins with a base number from the Schedule, to which another number is added
from another part of the Schedule or any one of the six tables. Since it is a hierarchical
scheme, while building the class number the progression is from general to the specific in any
Schedule. As it progresses from general to the specific, each level of division is indicated by
the addition of one new digit. The more specific the work is being classified the longer the
number tends to grow. The classes at any given level are subordinate to the class at the level
above it and super-ordinate to the class below it. Notation used in DDC consists of Indo-
Arabic numerals used with decimal. A minimum of three digits is used to represent any
subject with a dot put after three digits.

2.3 Literature Schedule in DDC:

The Main Class Literature is denoted by Indo-Arabic numeral 800 in DDC. This class is
used for both works of literature and works about literature. The literary forms included here
are Poetry, Drama, Fiction, Essays, Speeches, Letters, Satire, and Humor, and Quotations and
Epigrams. Although 800’s are a comparatively short schedule but can be nonetheless
 4

complex in their application. As a result of assigning whole divisions to major European

languages (English, German, French, Italian etc.) the other languages have much longer base
numbers. The Literature class heavily relies on Table 3 which is further subdivided into (T-
3A, T-3B, and T-3C) and Table 6, mostly Table 3 is used while building a number because
Table 3 is used to add the Specific forms for a literature of specific language and to add
Periods to the specific forms of literature. When there is a necessity to add some certain
notations to a specific literature, the T-3B instructs to add it from T-3C such as Qualities,
Style, Specific Elements, View point displayed by literature of specific languages and the
Subjects emphasized by the literature. In order to add above mentioned notations to a literary
work of specific language T-3C is heavily used. When a number to the literary work for
Collection, history and criticism is added is too added from T-3B. T-3A is for individual
literature i.e. work by a single author and T-3B is for Works of literature by more than one
author i.e. multiple authors.

3. Colon Classification: An Overview

Colon Classification is actually one of the most systematic schemes of library classification
used in many libraries in India and a few libraries abroad as well. This scheme was devised
by Dr. S.R Ranganathan. It is actually a freely faceted scheme of classification. As the
Universe of Knowledge or subjects were growing multidimensionally, Ranganathan found
that other schemes of classification were not able to cope up with the growth. Specially
enumerative schemes like DDC were not able to accommodate all the emerging and newly
developed subjects in a single schedule. The only alternative to deal with the problem was
implementation of a faceted scheme. The faceted schemes of classification can give a class
number by analyzing the isolates of subjects which can be combined to form any number of
subjects. Colon Classification while building a class number analyses the subject in its
various isolates and places them under five fundamental categories in the order of
Personality, Matter, Energy, Space and Time. According to S.R Ranganathan there are only
five characteristic in each subject. A class number is formed with a basic subject alone or one
or more manifestation of five fundamental categories. While building a class number in CC
we analyze and find out isolates belonging to various fundamental categories and then
synthesis or connect with the help of appropriate connecting symbol so it is also termed as
analytico-synthetic scheme of classification.

3.1 Fundamental Categories: Isolate Idea

The isolate or components analyzed for each and every subject under each Basic subject is
categorized under five fundamental categories which are Personality, Matter, Energy,
Space and Time. These categories are interlinked by using various connecting symbols.

➢ Personality , ( comma)
➢ Matter ; ( Semicolon)
➢ Energy : ( Colon)
➢ Space . ( Dot)
➢ Time ‘ ( Inverted Comma)
 5

The citation order of the fundamental categories to be followed is:-

[BC]P, P1; M: E .S ‘T Here, [BC] Basic Class

P Personality
P1 1st Personality
M Matter
E Energy
S Space (GD)
T Time (CD)

• Activities performed is included in Energy Facet. For Eg. Classification and

cataloguing is an activity of library Science.
• Materials available in a library is included in Matter Facet. Matter Facet can be
found in the Chapter 9a-General Bibliography.
• Personality is very difficult to identify. For Eg. Physics Library is included in
Personality.
• Space Facet can be found in Geographical Division (GD) in Chapter 4.
• Time Facet can be found in Chronological Division (CD) in Chapter 3.

3.2 Number Building in CC:

In CC, under each basic subject, isolates are enumerated under five fundamental
categories which are listed with number. A Class number is formed with a Basic
subject alone or one or more manifestations of Five Fundamental Categories. The
analyzed isolates will be placed and arranged under the five fundamental categories in
the order of P,M,E,S,T. In order to build the number isolates are chosen for the basic
subject and are connected using appropriate connecting symbols. Number building is
done with the help of certain Postulates and Principles.

3.3 Notation in CC:

The Representation of subjects done using digits, symbols etc. in order to organize it on
shelves is termed as notation. CC uses mixed notation and it consists of-

a) 10 Indo-Arabic numerals (0….9)

b) 26 Roman Capital letters (A…Z)
c) 23 roman small letters (excluding I, 1, o)
d) Bracketed numbers
e) Indicator digits* “ _ (& ‘ . ; : , - = + (

The mixed notational base allows the extrapolation and interpolation of array as well as
chain. This makes CC highly flexible and hospitable.

3.4 Literature Schedule in CC:

The Basic Class of Literature Schedule is represented by O.
The Facet formula of the Literature Schedule is O [P], [P2] [P3], [P4]
Here, P- 1st Personality
P2- 2nd Personality
P3- 3rd Personality
P4- 4th Personality

O[Language], [Form], [C.D Author], [Work]

P-Language Facet O1

The Language, to the literature of which the book belongs, or about the literature of which the
book treats, is taken as the focus in the Language Facet.

For Eg: Kalidasa’s Sakuntala which belongs to Sanskrit Literature should be given the
language number of Sanskrit. S M Natesa Sastri’s a review of Sakuntala, though it is in
English, should be given the Language number of Sanskrit and not English; because it treats
about Sakuntala which belongs to Sanskrit Language.

Language of work is not equal to Language of Book

This may be called Language Inequality.

P2-Form Facet O2

The form of Literature which a book contains or about which the book treats should be taken
as the focus in its Form Facet.

The Form Facet is further subdivided into- 1.Poetry, 2.Drama, 3.Fiction, 4.Letters,
5.Oration, 6.Other forms of prose, 7.Campu

The other forms of prose denotes prose as a species of literature as opposed to poetry, drama,
fiction and letters.

For Eg; A book containing the biography or a criticism of say a poet will be given the Form
number for poetry. (lly) a book containing the biography or criticism of a dramatist will be
given the Form number for drama as it treats about drama and so on.

Form of work is not equal to Form of Book

This may be called Form Inequality

 7

P3-Author Facet O3

The author of the literary piece of work which the book contains or about which the book
treats or of the literary author about whom the book treats should be taken as the focus in the
Author Facet.

For Eg. If the book is a biography or criticism of say a poet it is the poet who will determine
the Author number and not the author of the biography or criticism. In case of GK
Chesterson’s “ Innocence of Father Brown” Chesterson will determine the Author number
but in case of the book GK Chesterson’s “ Charles Dickens” it is Dickens and not Chesterson
that will determine the Author number.

Author of Work is not equal to Author of Book.

This is called Author Inequality.

P4-Work O4

The work contained or treated about in the book should be taken as the focus in the work
facet.

4. Objectives of the study:

A study is always objective driven which means there should always have some certain
objectives which would guide us to the right work to do.

The study has been drawn for this stage:

a) To acquire an insight about DDC and CC classification scheme.

b) To understand and know how literature schedule is treated.
c) To study a comparison of both the schedules in literature with reference to
both DDC and Colon classification schemes with some selected titles.

5. Methodology of the study:

In order to conduct a research work properly one has to adopt a proper methodology which
suits his/her work. In simple term research methodology is the overall method adopted in
order to carry out the study.

My study is the treatment of literature in both CC and DDC. I have gone through different
rules and instructions in Colon and DDC scheme and in order to know the basic difference it
is necessary to have some titles and to classify them according to the instructions given in the
schedules in case of DDC and as per analysis and synthesis methods of CC.

In order to proceed the current study, keeping the objectives in mind the following
methodologies and techniques are applied:-

a) Collection of titles.
b) Category of titles.
 8

c) By assigning class numbers to each title according CC 6th rev and DDC 22nd
ed. a discussion and a case study is done by comparing titles.
d) Survey conducted in literature section.

Firstly, titles of different nature belonging to literature schedule is collected. The title varies
from different languages, different literary forms and themes.

Secondly, with respect to the category of titles the titles are arranged and collected from
general to specific covering literature in general and onwards to the specific title covering
specific aspects of literature.

Thirdly, a discussion is done on how number building approach is done on the two schemes.

Fourthly, for selecting the titles a survey has been conducted in the literature collection of KK
Handique library (Gauhati University) and different question papers of LIS courses and also
some books where discussion has been made on the study area.

6. Literature Review:

Literature search is an essential part of any research work. Review of the related literature on
the chosen topic of the research work is an important step before the actual work is
undertaken. Such an exercise helps in developing new ideas and interests. I have collected
different forms of literature both of macro and micro. E.g- books, websites, Sodhganga
articles etc.

For better understanding the study i.e. to outline the treatment of literature schedule one
should understand what is classification and have a deep insight of both the classification
schemes i.e. DDC and CC. Keeping the view on mind, literature review has been conducted
from different literatures such as books, articles etc. which are related to the concept of
classification.

M.P Satija (1984) in his book Manual Practical of Colon Classification aims to expound
with ample illustrations, every rule either big or small, through a combining operation. This
book strictly confines itself to the framework of the CC Schedules. It is a book on number
building rather than on classification.

RL Sehgal (1994) in the book An Introduction to Dewey Decimal Classification mainly

discusses the structures of the DDC. The chapters also discusses the history; structure;
notation; Devices such as : Common auxiliaries, special auxiliaries available for the
extension of the class and the isolate. The methodology of number building has also been
discussed for each schedule including the literature schedule.

Sanjay K. Kaushik (2004) in the book DDC 22 explains with the help of suitable examples
the salient provisions of DDC 22. The examples in the book are explained in a step by step
procedure of the various schedules.
 9

Sanjay K. Kaushik (2012) in the book DDC: A practical manual of 23rd edition explains
the provisions of DDC 23 with the help of suitable examples. The examples are explained
systematically in a well-defined way so that users may get a deep insight of the number
building approach of the different schedules.

Gulati, D (2013) in his article “Library classification schemes: An overview” makes a

study on different classification schemes in a detailed way. It analyses the purpose,
components, features and notation used in different classification schemes. It also outlines the
significance of different classification schemes.

Krishan Kumar (2014) in the book Theory of Classification seeks to provide a coherent
account of the theory of library classification. Emphasis has been laid on historical
perspective contributions made by theoriticians like Dr. S.R Ranganathan. Ranganathan
succeeded in systematizing the study and practice of classification. DDC and CC have been
dealt in detail in this book.

.Ashikuzzaman, M (2016) in his article “Types of Library Classification schemes”

discusses the nature and characteristics of two most widely used schemes which is DDC and
CC. It also outlines the difference between faceted classification scheme and Analytico-
Synthetic classification scheme.

7. A Treatment of Literature in DDC and CC

As a case study 82 titles of different nature in literature have been collected. These titles are
assigned class numbers according to CC 6th Rev. Ed. and DDC 22nd Ed. The title ranges from
different languages such as Assamese, Bengali, English, Hindi and also from different
literary forms such as poetry, drama, fiction as well as from Collection, description, critical
appraisal of specific literatures and themes having general and specific area of study.

9. Findings, recommendations & Conclusions

Finding 1: In both the classification scheme the literature class is used for both works of
literature or works about literature.

Finding 2: In case of DDC the literary forms such as Poetry, Drama, Fiction, Letters etc. can
be subdivided into its specific kinds which results in the class number being more specific but
in case of CC the literary forms such as Poetry, Drama, Fiction etc. cannot be further divided.

Finding 3: In case of DDC the class number is a bit long in comparison to CC. The works
tends to be more specific in DDC compared to CC.The notation used in DDC is highly
simple but in CC the notation used is a bit complex.
 29

Finding 4: Numbers for Collection, history and Criticism can be added in both DDC and CC.
In case of CC the Common Isolates-ACI and PCI are used but in case of DDC the Table 3B
in Volume 1 is used for adding the numbers of Collection, history and Criticism.

Finding 5: In case of DDC literature for and by persons of ethnic and national groups, for
and by specific kinds of persons can be added but in CC literature by persons of ethnic and
national groups cannot be added.

Finding 6: Both in case of DDC and CC the literary forms such as Poetry, Drama, Fiction,
Speeches are denoted by the same notation. Poetry-1, Drama-2, Fiction-3, Speeches-5.

10. Recommendations and Suggestions:

1. Before introducing a classification scheme one has to be expert in more than one
classification scheme.
2. One has to decide for implementation of a classification scheme on the basis of
his/her requirement.
3. For a special library colon is advisable and for a general library DDC is advisable.
4. Colon though class is not updated properly can be used by classifier himself/herself as
there is enough scope for incorporating individual thinking.

11. Conclusion:

A Classification scheme must be updated in a regular interval to cope up with the changing
environment as with the passage of time newly emerging subjects are developing and
appearing. The isolates are identified and enumerated in the scheme in order to keep on
updating the un-updated scheme. Enumerative schemes are not able to accommodate all the
emerging and newly developed subjects but faceted schemes like CC can solve this problem
by analyzing the isolates and combining them in a given order to form any number of
subjects. The Colon actually lacks frequent revision and has complex notation. It is actually
high time to update the existing edition of Colon Classification and provide it with an Index
for the purpose of gaining popularity among the libraries and for carrying more advance
DLIS research in the field of classification. In case of DDC as a result of the constant revision
it has allowed for expansion for addition of new subjects making the scheme popular for the
purpose of arranging documents in libraries and it has an excellent relative index. The
availability of DDC in Web(Web-Dewey) in full and abridged editions is also one of the
reasons of its popularity.
