    Rez. in: Mitt VÖB 61(2008) H.1, S.99-103 (M. Sandner): "In der Schriftenreihe "Information Professional Series" möchte der Verlag vielbeschäftigten Angehörigen der Bibliothekszunft leicht lesbares, sehr praxisorientiertes, durch ausgewiesene Autoritäten ihres Faches abgesichertes und aktuelles State-of-the-art-Wissen anbieten. - Der Verfasser des vorliegenden Bandes gilt als solch ein arrivierter Experte in Sachen Wissensorganisation, Klassifikation im Allgemeinen und DDC, Kolonklassifikation und UDK im Besonderen. Er ist Vorstand des Departments für Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft an einer indischen Universität. Seinem Text stellt er einige tiefe Verbeugungen voran: die erste gilt dem 1991 verstorbenen Herausgeber der 20. Ausgabe der DDC, den er als geistigen Koautor mit herein nimmt, die zweite gilt Melvil Dewey und dessen phänomenaler Erfindung (The sun never sets on its ever-spreading empire.), die dritte, den ganzen Text begleitende, gilt - unausgesprochen - dem Konzept der Facettierung von Ranganathan. Satijas erklärte Absicht ist es, Anfängern die DDC22 verständlich zu machen und Anwendern zu nützlichen Einsichten zu verhelfen. Einerseits, so kündigt er im Vorwort an, werde er den philosophischen Hintergrund immer wieder beleuchten, andererseits stelle das Buch einen kompletten Kurs dar: anhand didaktisch ausgewählter Beispiele solle nämlich Schritt für Schritt jeder wichtige Bereich des Klassifikationssystems angesprochen und würden alle Methoden für dessen Anwendung erklärt werden. - Keine geringen Ansprüche, die sich Verlag und Verfasser selbst stellen! Das Äußere des Buches wirkt erfrischend und modern - gerne greift man zu dem einladend bunten Band, der laut Inhaltsverzeichnis klar strukturiert scheint. Nur: wo versteckt sich wohl der angekündigte DDC-Kursteil? ... Fazit: sollte dieses Buch, liebe Leserin, lieber Leser, Ihre erste Lektüre über die DDC sein, dann lesen Sie es nicht allein und vor allem, lesen Sie nicht allein dieses! Sollten Sie aber schon einige Erfahrung mit der Dewey haben, dann werden Sie gewiss mit Gewinn all das heraushören, was ein erfahrener Professor aus der Schule zu plaudern vermag, und das, was nur Satija aus seinem Blick auf die DDC Ihnen eröffnen kann."
    Weitere Rez in: KO 36(2009) nos.2/3, S.181-182 (M Hudon): " ... M.P. Satija's latest contribution to the small bank of textbooks available to classification instructors and learners is, without doubt, a good one. However, some parts of the document are not accessible to novices. These sections are too technical, stressing on the rare exceptions to the common rules of class number identification and building. It at times appears as if the author has reviewed each and every class number provided in the schedules! In this respect, the recently published Essential Dewey by John Bowman can be considered more accessible to true beginners. Very few references are made to WebDewey and to the increasing flexibility and usefulness of the electronic version of the classification. One can't help but wonder how and why the choice was made to present the DDC not as a system, but rather in reference to the four printed volumes only, and this without any discussion pertaining to its physical presentation.

    Abstract
    S. R. Ranganathan (1892-1972) has been called the father of the Indian Library movement. He developed the revolutionary Colon Classification (CC), which was published in seven editions from 1928 to 1987. The evolution of the classification through the editions is discussed. The unique features of the CC are described, including the idea, verbal, and notational planes. Tools for designing and evaluating a system are enshrined in his 55 canons, 22 principles, 13 postulates, and 10 devices. Semantic and syntactic relations are enshrined in his PMEST facet formula, fitted with rounds and levels of facets, and other principles, such as the famous wall-picture principle, for citation order of facets. Briefly explained are facet analysis and number building with its notational base of 74 digits. The entry concludes with a discussion of the extent of use of the CC, its enduring contribution to the science of classification, and its future.

    Abstract
    The origin of the abridged edition of the Dewey system goes back to 1894 when an outline of 192 pages based on the full 5th Edition (1894) was issued for small public and school libraries of North America. New editions have appeared regularly following closely the publication of new full editions. An abridged version, which is always in one volume, comprises an introduction, schedules, four tables (namely 1, 2, 3 and 4) only, and the relative index and other minor features of the full edition, and has shorter numbers. Abridged 15 is a logical abridgement of the DDC23 (2011) and is a product of a new approach to development of an abridged edition of the DDC. Its content has been derived from the DDC database applying a set of rules to extract the edition using the new (2010) version of the editorial support system. The revision process has been informed by interaction with an always widening and diversified Dewey community at home and abroad. It aims to improve the currency of the schedules continuing to serve as shelving tool while recognizing its 'other' uses as a spinoff of its simplicity and inexpensiveness.

    Abstract
    From classification to knowledge organization through subject indexing the field has been so rapidly growing that it is difficult to demarcate its boundaries. Knowledge organization is viewed in the sense of conglomeration of activities to sort and order knowledge, to acquire, ufilize, evaluate, represent and communicate knowledge for problem solving. It has been no simple matter to decide what should be included in and excluded from such a dictionary. Broadly speaking the terms an the following topics are included in the work : Knowledge, Epistemology, Concepts, Terminology and Vocabulary control ; Classification systems, their design, theory and practice of classification, Subject analysis; fundamental categories and facets, Content and Text analysis, Use of classification in online systems and an the web. Subject cataloguing : subject headings, Thesauri and alphabetical indexing languages : Keyword, chain and string indexes, Knowledge representation, Classification for access and retrieval, Cognitive aspects of information- seeking behaviour, Automatic classification, Descriptive cataloguing : Theory, kinds, levels, standards and codes, OPACs, all are covered in this work. Like any other such work of this sort, it is an electic compilation. The work proposes to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. Endeavour is to find brief simple, logical and consensual meaning of terms, and append brief description of a concept or an issue with explanation, examples and comments in a bottom up way. Some current topics denoted by phrases have also been included. At times it may give the look of a concise encyclopaedic dictionary. Terms fully describe concepts and methods, and may evoke some thoughts an current and classic issues in the field.

    Abstract
    The 7th edition of the Colon Classification (released in 1987) brings in many more changes than ever contained in any previous revision of this world famous classification system manyfold increase in the number of basic subjects; recognitin of the three varieties of the category matter: use of atleast five new notational symbols, and introduction of many new basic concepts, have all ushered in many complexities in the system. The book in hand aims to explain the number building techniques ----the grammar ----of the CC-7 Chosen titles are simple. Aim is to cater to the needs of the students and teachers. Though the new edition could be best under-stood in light of the CC-6, yet this cook book on CC-7 presumes not much knowledge of its previous edition. Thus this expository book on CC-7 could be used by the beginners with equal loss an profit. Hope this book contributes its modest share to perpetuate the working knowledge of India's pride, the Colon Classification.

    Identifies principal bibliographies of library science writing by Indians, beginning with a mimeographed list of 1966. The 1st published bibliography was by Ram Gopal Prasher, in 1971. In addition to general bibliographies, reference is made to numerous lists in special topics (e.g. Colon Classification) and special formats such as dissertations. Indexes to individual journals are also included. All entries have detailed, critical annotations. Concludes that, except for grey literature, the overall bibliographic control of Indian libaray literature appears to be strong

    Abstract
    We define knowledge as a system in a perpetually dynamic continuum. Knowledge grows as it is always fragmentary, though quantifying this growth is nearly impossible. Growth, inherent in the nature of knowledge, is natural, planned, and induced. S.R. Ranganathan elucidated the various modes of growth of subjects, viz. fission, lamination, loose assemblage, fusion, distillation, partial comprehensions, and subject bundles. The present study adds a few more modes of developments of subjects. We describe and fit these modes of growth in the framework of growth by specialization, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary growths. We also examine emergence of online domains such as web directories and focus on possible modes of formation of such domains. The paper concludes that new modes may emerge in the future in consonance with the new research trends and ever-changing social needs.

    Abstract
    Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (1892-1972) has been called the father of the Indian library movement. He developed the revolutionary Colon Classification (CC) from 1924 to 1928, which was published in seven editions from 1933 to 1987. In this article, the evolution of CC through its seven editions is discussed. The unique features of CC are described, including the work in idea, verbal, and notational planes. Tools for designing and evaluating a system are enshrined in his fifty-five canons, twenty-two principles, thirteen postulates, and ten devices (Indian Statistical Institute 2012, 34-38). Semantic and syntactic relations are enshrined in his order of main classes, Principles of Helpful Sequence in arrays, the PMEST facet formula fitted with rounds and levels of facets, and other principles, such as the famous wall-picture principle for citation order of facets, and numerous devices for improvising class numbers for non-existent isolates and potential subjects. Briefly explained are facet and phase analyses and number building with its notational base of seventy-four characters and symbols. The entry concludes with a discussion of the extent of application of CC in libraries, its contribution to the science of classification, and a view of its future.

    Rez. in: KO 30(2003) no.1, S.44-45 (M. Parameswaran): "The fact that M.P. Satija's Manual of Practical Colon Classification has reached its fourth edition clearly Shows its popularity and usefulness as a textbook. As long as Colon Classification (CC) is taught in Indian universities, the relevance of such a text cannot be questioned. The structure and content of the book has not changed much from its previous edition, but the text has been simplified and new examples were added. According to the author, this is a manual for learners; it is not intended to solve the day to day problems of library professionals. Exercises are not provided, but each chapter contains a large number of examples. The book does not make an effort to rectify any mistake in CC or further supplement the existing rules, but only tries to explain what are the provisions in CC edition 6. The reason for choosing the sixth edition of CC instead of the seventh edition is obvious: edition 7 of CC has become a half cooked product even if it is supported by a strong theory. Schools of library science generally follow edition 6, and so far edition 6 remains the standard edition. The Manual is divided into two parts. Part 1 explains the theoretical principles and Part 11 expounds the practical applications. In Part I, having defined the basic concepts such as Fundamental categories, Rounds and Levels etc., the author further explains common schedules (Space, Time and language schedules), common isolates, various devices, Systems and Specials, Phase relation etc. The chapters an parallel schedules and differential facets will be useful not only to students but also to their teachers. An entire chapter has been devoted to filing sequence. In Part II, a chapter is devoted to each of the main classes (MC). These chapters deal with the rules for facet analysis and synthesis into class numbers. Each chapter contains examples illustrating common isolates, phase relations, various devices and parallel schedules relevant to the main class being introduced.
    The chapter an (MC) Chemistry contains a detailed discussion an the construction of class numbers for chemical compounds, with examples. The author has added an appendix to the (MC) Chemistry based an the periodic table. This will be of immense help to the classifier who constructs the class number for inorganic chemical substances. The schedule of personality facets in the (MC) Botany and Zoology go up to the family name only and not up to genus and species. Therefore, if a person has to classify a book an spider (s)he must know that spiders belong to the family Arachinida. This has to be explained to the students. In (MC) Religion sun worship in ancient India has been classified as Ql: 414 (B9) but Q 28: 414 `C seems to be a better number. In (MC) Philosophy the class numbers given as illustrative examples for (P2) facet of the canonical class R6 Indian Philosophy need some explanations. The following class numbers are given: R 68,6 Bhagavad Gita R 68,8 Mahabharata R 893, 7 Bhagavata. The first two class numbers are only for Bhagavad gita and Mahabharata interpreted according to Madhvacharya's Dvaita Philosophy. The third class number is only for Bhagavata discussed according to Vallabhacharya's Suddhadvaita philosophy. This has not been properly explained in the textbook.
    Normally the text of the above mentioned three sacred works get the following class numbers: R65, 6 Bhagavat gita 015, 1A2 Mahabharata Q22:223 Bhagavata. Hind to Part 3 of CC containing schedules of classics and sacred works has been given in this manual. Ayurvedic texts and the Bible and its parts have been cited as examples. However more class numbers could have been included for works such as Ramayana, Mahabharata and Tirukkural, and more examples discussing South Indian topics could have been added. For example: P152, 9D4425 Dakhini Hindi the dialect spoken by people in erstwhile Hyderabad state area; Q2: 4198. 4422. fS Pilgrimage to Sabarimala. The Adjunct (MC)s like Mining and Animal Husbandry are represented in the list of (MC)s in CC as HX, KX etc. But in those chapters these are represented as HZ, KZ etc. Here there is an inconsistency. HX, KX etc. are better because the digit X is used as a digit for interpolation in arrays (emptying digit). Since Z is reserved for creating sectors (Empty digit) it is not desirable to use it to represent any concept. On the whole the Manual of Practical Colon Classification is a very useful book for students and teachers of library classification."

    Abstract
    Ranganathan's Colon Classification (CC) treats knowledge as a multidimensional structure, enshrining a multiplicity of complex relations. This complexity is manipulated within the CC an the basis of numerous of Ranganathan's contributions to subject analysis, including the modes of formation of subjects; an objective rationale for the arrangement of main classes; the PMEST facet formula, extended by the postulate of rounds and levels; a general dependency principle for collocation of related components in a facet formula, phase relationships between the components of complex interdiscipfnary subjects; the recurrence of an APUPA arrangement throughout the linear ordering of materials; and an absolute syntax of ideas.
