Title

"Liberating the responsibility to think for oneself" : the Warburg Institute Library Classification

Source

Knowledge organization. 35(2008) no.4, S.192-208

Abstract

The unique classification of the library of the Warburg Institute in London is the subject of this article, with regard to the implications for the organization of knowledge in this library. To emphasize its underlying pedagogic ethos, which played an important role in shaping the classification's structure, the classification is analyzd in its appropriate library-historical context. The development of the classification in the early 1920s, the arrangement of the stock over four floors, and the classification's structure of and within classes; are related to the implications of this structure for the organization of knowledge in the library. Finally, discussion of the classification's structure and its implications is combined with discussion of its pedagogic "mission" with the aim of establishing how the classification and shelf arrangement are intended to have impact upon users of the library.
