To identify a book or a bit of information from a huge store of knowledge, a professional needs to find out and make available the right book (information) of the right reader (seeker) at the right moment.
For this purpose a student is trained to search out the common characteristics among a group of subjects as well as segregate them according to their uncommon features. Now the common subjects are put under one heading. The process of classification is important and three such internationally accepted classification schemes have been discussed with special stress of Dewey Decimal Classification 19th edition.
Training to project the holdings of a library/information centre according to accepted universal codes of cataloguing is the second objective of this paper. For this purpose basic introductory lessons on cataloguing with special stress on AACR-II has been discussed.
