Description

Explore the history and foundations of information science with Bibliographic Classification by Joacim Hansson. Published by MIT Press, this work examines how classification systems serve as tools for retrieving documents and organizing library collections. Hansson analyzes how these systems act as products of their time, encoding the specific beliefs and values of the cultures that create them. Moving beyond traditional views, the text addresses the connection between classification and society through a new lens. It investigates the transition from mimetic representation to isomorphic documentality, providing a deep look at how bibliographic catalogs and library shelving principles function within a broader social context.
