Library Clasification A library classification, or a bibliographic classification, is a system according to which library materials or information resources are arranged on library shelves, typically according to subject, and allocating a call number.[clarification needed] Library classification systems group related materials together, typically arranged in a hierarchical tree structure. A different kind of classification system, called a faceted classification system, is also widely used which allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classifications to be ordered in multiple ways. The library classification is distinct from the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) systems, which are unique commercial product identifiers, the first for books the second for serial publications, that can be used for tracking individual library materials, such as for lending of the materials by the library.
