A Short Classification of Medical- Literature (Intended for Use in Libraries of Smaller Hospitals and Psychiatric Institutions) By JOSEPH S. A. MILLER, M.D., Clinical Director, Rockland State Hospital, Orangeburg, N.Y. T I tHE FOLLOWING Classification was compiled by the author and has been successfully used in the medical library of a large psy- chiatric hospital. It should be useful in classifying medical collec- tions of 1,000 to 5,000 volumes; The author developed the present Classification because existing Classifications were found to be too detailed and cumbersome. The chief features offered by the present Classification are: (a) reducing the main headings and subheadings to a minimum, and (b) classifying medical books according to the manner in which they are ordinarily written and titled. The Classification consists of an 11-Class system, beginning with Medical Reference and proceeding through the Biological and Pre- Clinical Sciences, Medicine, Surgery, Treatment, Hygiene and Public Health, Social Service and Medical Sociology, ending with General Reference. In order to make this Classification suitable for psychiatric hospital libraries, an additional 5-Classes have been appended to cover the fields of Neurology, Psychology, Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. The index gives more details of the subheadings in- cluded under the chief class titles. The actual technical matters of indexing and cataloguing are too well known to need discussion here.

A Short Classification of Medical- Literature

(Intended for Use in Libraries of Smaller Hospitals andPsychiatric Institutions)

By JOSEPH S. A. MILLER, M.D., Clinical Director,Rockland State Hospital, Orangeburg, N.Y.

TI tHE FOLLOWING Classification was compiled by the author andhas been successfully used in the medical library of a large psy-chiatric hospital. It should be useful in classifying medical collec-

tions of 1,000 to 5,000 volumes;The author developed the present Classification because existing

Classifications were found to be too detailed and cumbersome. The chieffeatures offered by the present Classification are: (a) reducing themain headings and subheadings to a minimum, and (b) classifyingmedical books according to the manner in which they are ordinarilywritten and titled.

The Classification consists of an 11-Class system, beginning withMedical Reference and proceeding through the Biological and Pre-Clinical Sciences, Medicine, Surgery, Treatment, Hygiene and PublicHealth, Social Service and Medical Sociology, ending with GeneralReference. In order to make this Classification suitable for psychiatrichospital libraries, an additional 5-Classes have been appended to coverthe fields of Neurology, Psychology, Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis andPsychotherapy. The index gives more details of the subheadings in-cluded under the chief class titles.

The actual technical matters of indexing and cataloguing are toowell known to need discussion here. Our own practice has been to pre-pare four cards for each book: one of these being used for the shelf-listsand the other three filed in the catalogue under author, title and subject.The writer recommends filing once under the chief or most appropriateSubject heading. A generous or sufficient number of cross-index cardsfor Subjects obviates the necessity of having to type out too many cardsfor the same book.

The books are of course numbered in accordance with the Classifica-

tion, followed by the first letter of the author's name. Reference Booksare stamped with the letter "R" or letters "Ref" in front of the classi-fication number. Similarly, papers, pamphlets or reprints may be classi-fied by prefixing the letter "P" or letters "Rep" to the classificationnumber. We have also used the main Class titles and numbers of theclassification as a Purchasing File or Catalogue, by entering dataconcerning the author, title of new book, publisher, edition or year,and price on separate cards for each book and filing these cards underSubject headings, in a separate file.

At the end of the Classification is attached a short bibliography ofbooks and classifications which the author has consulted and studied, andto which he would refer the qualified reader for interesting and help-ful data.
