- Abstract
- Discusses the problems encountered by elementary school children in retrieving information from catalogues, either traditional card catalogues or OPACs. Describes an alternative system of classification using colours and symbols that was developed in The Common School of Amherst, Mass. The case study found that children do have the ability to use a classification scheme that is keyed to their developmental level and that employs both colours and symbols to facilitate their search efforts
