- Abstract
- This paper studies the works of Eric Coates who put into practice and advanced Ranganathan's thought mainly through the British National Bibliography, the British Technology Index and the Broad System of Ordering. Following a description of these three systems demonstrated are: (1) how his works are connected with each other, (2) why his achievements should be estimated by a global standard, and (3) which of his contributions will throw light an unsolved problems in knowledge organization. The conclusion is that the underlying conceptual coherence of the work of Coates should be highly regarded as the persistent survival of interest and concem about classification despite its marginalization.
