Systematic listing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Systematic listing is the listing of media in libraries according to subject area.

Here, a system is used to subject access in libraries with open access to allow. The aim of a systematic listing is to gather books on a topic in one place. The ordering principle of this list is a library classification such as the Dewey decimal classification or the Regensburg network classification .

The systematic list requires more space than, for example, the list based on Numerus Currens , as space has to be reserved for future newcomers. If the system changes, for example due to the emergence of new subject areas, extensive work on the media and in the library catalog is necessary.

Another problem are plants that cannot be assigned to just one system point. For example, books on business informatics could fit two system passages - "Economics" and "Informatics".
