Classification Scheme
For arrangement of reading material the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme is followed in the library. The 19th edition of this scheme is being used at present along with AACR2 and the 15th edition of the Sears List of Subject Headings. Sometimes a number which is difficult to build from 19th edition is built from the 20th edition.

Famous quotes containing the word scheme:
“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
