Ranganathan’s classified catalogue code (5th Edition) and Anglo-American cataloguing rules (AACR1 and AACR2), Class numbers prepared according to Colon classification (6th Edition) and Dewey decimal classification (19th Edition) has also been provided. During recent years library science has become a vast and specialized field of study using a technical terminology. With the above point in view, this book has been especially written to meet the requirements of semi-professionals undergoing short-term training. This will serve as an introductory work for students preparing for their library science/information science/documentation diplomas and degrees. Librarians working for small libraries will also benefit equally from it.
