- Abstract
- In theory, classificationists always avoid critical classification: that is, the introduction of their own bias and prejudices into the schemes they compile. In practice, all the schemes available to librarians reflect to a greater or lesser degree the prejudices of their origins. In some cases it is difficult to see any justification for this; for example, the peculiar attitude toward women shown by many schemes. In other cases schemes reflect perhaps too closely the culture on which they are based. No solution is proposed, but it is important that librarians be aware of the problems
