Abstract

Derek Austin traces his career with particular reference to his involvement with the Classification Research Group (CRG) which lead to his extensive work in developing and refining PRECIS and its practical application to the BNB. Presents some of the underlying theory and practical details of PRECIS and concludes with responses to specific questions posed by Cataloging and classification quarterly
