Abstract

Over 45 years ago it was decided to move the class 4 for language to the section 8 together with literature. Since then class 4 has not been used. A recent masters thesis at the school of librarianship in Boras , "UDC, A Proposal to Basic Class 4" by Fredrik Hultqvist, (Magisteruppsats; 2006:39) proved the possibility of moving Medicine from the section 61 to the empty class 4. This is not a new idea, but has never been implemented. There are now new reasons that can facilitate the change. Medicine has been subjected to readjustments and proposals of change presented over recent years and this work is more or less completed. The change of notation 61 to notation 4 does not make the work done for the revision of Medicine obsolete; on the contrary it facilitates the change in libraries as they anyway need to change the notations of the entire discipline. The change to 4 makes medicine a digit shorter in all the subdivisions. This is an opportunity which will not come again for years. This is the practical reason. The theoretical reason can be found by analysing other classification systems. It seems that only the Dewey system, and therefore the UDC, has Medicine together with other practical disciplines in the same division. Most systems have Medicine as a main discipline with a division of its own.
