This new manual builds upon the work of its predecessor "Sayer's manual of classification for librarians" 5th edition. It aims to maintain the traditions established by "Sayer's" and seeks to fulfil the same aims - that is to provide a clear and comprehensible overview of classification theory, policy and practice, and to provide a description of the major general classification systems. Much valuable material has been taken from the earlier editions, but every effort has been made to make the coverage of work today as current as possible. This would apply, for instance, in the discussions on the use of classification in a variety of environments, and when investigating the impact of new technology. In this sense the book is very much a "new" manual. Now that classification is taught and studied in very different ways and levels in library and information schools, a book which surveys, summarises and comments on the enormous body of work that exists on classification will be very useful to lecturers, students and librarians.
