What is the difference between an Empty digit and an Emptying digit used by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan in his scheme of classification ? An emply digit docs not have a semantic value but it has only ordinal value. An empty digit can be used as a sectorising digit. An emptying digit has both a semantic and ordinal value and more over it can deprive the preceding digit of its semantic value.

But the language in which the meanings are given is represented as the language part of the book number. If the meaning is given in more thar one language, the first of them is given in the book number, e.g. English-Hindi dictionary PLit:4k 152N7116 585. 586. Library and Information Science |. What are the digits that are having least ordinal value in the notational system of the 6th and the 7th editions of CC? Arrester (in both the editions). (The digits asterisk (*), plus (+) and double inverted Comma (~) have anteriorising value. Hence their ordinal values are not prescribed in relation to the digits of other species). . What are the ten different methods of subject formation recognised in the developing universe of knowledge ? (1) Dissection (2) Denudation (3) Dismembering (4) Fission (5) Lamination (6) Loose Assemblage (7) Fusion (8) Distillation (9) Partial Comprehension and (10) Subject Bundle. What does an element number provided under Inorganic substance in the Main class Chemistry [E) consist of ? And what is a ‘Full Element Number’? The group of digits following the initial digit “1° under the substance facet of Main class Chemistry [E] is known as an Element Number. The Element Number generally consists of the Group Number to which the clement belongs in the periodic table of elements and the Period Number of the element in the Table. The Full Element Number is got by adding the valency number to the Element Number. What is the Anteriorising Common Isolate Number (ACIN) that should be added for building the class number for the biography of a person who played an important part in the history of acountry ? y7 (sharpened by his year of birth). .

Generalia Bibliography (a); Fine Arts (N); Literature (O) and Law (Z). . In the Main class Litcrature (O), how is the isolate for the work facet {P4} of an author is given ? What would be the work number for the first work of an author who produced about 100 works ? It is got either by Group Notation or by Aiphabetical Device (AD). 111 (That is the first item, in the first sub group of the first major group).Classification 7 592. 593. 594. 595. 596. . According to CC Philosophies of various subjects are to be classed in the subjects themselves. But there is an exception to this rule. What is it? Philosophy of theology of religion is classed in philosophy itself under the class number for Metaphysics (R3). In building up the class number for the specific subject ‘Classification of library science books’ there is some deviation from the general practice of building class numbers. What is it ? The Class number is 2:51,9(2). Note : Usually it is the practice obtained in CC, not to put comma between (E) and (2P). But here contrary to the above said practice a comma is placed between these two facets as the number of digits in (E) in these cases is not constant, as it can be sharpended by Chronological Device (CD) if necessary. In the case of classifying works under the Main class Generalia (z), we are required to omit the base digit (z) under certain cases. What is the Tule under question ? “When ever the base digit z (not amplified by GD or by AD) calls for an ACI, the digit z may be ommitted and it is sufficient if the (CN) begins with the (ACT) digit. If a book deals primarily with a hydroxyl of an element, how should one arrive at its substance number under the Main class Chemistry [E) ? Its substance number should consist of the digit ‘2’ followed successively by the Element Number of the element whose hydroxyl forms the subject matter of the book and the Valency Number. In the case of anthologies or collected biographies in Literature (O), how is the isolate number (IN) of the author facet [P3] w be worked out? The Chronological Division (CD) used to construct the (IN) of the Author facet should be worked up to the Latest Effective Decade (LED), covering the year of birth of the youngest author. Name the two isolates under the problem facet of the Main class Economics (X), which are having three sectors arranged under them. And what are those sectors ? “9 Personal Management’ and ‘97 Industrial Relations’. Least concrete sector, More concrete sector and Still more concrete sector.8 597. 598, 599. 600. 601. 602. Library and Information Science The Classic Device (CD) employed by Dr. SR. Ranganathan consists in putting the digit x after the number which whimatcly represents the Classic. Then the digit x is to be amplified by Asthor facet [P1] and Work facet [P2}. How is a classifier here to work out the (IN) for the Author facet (P1] of this Class number (CN)? The isolate is to be got by the Favoured Category Device for Classical authors upto 16 in number and by Chronological Device (CD) as in the Main class Literature (O) for others. What is the Common Isolate Digit (CID) that should be added to the ultimate class number for collections of art works ? And how should it be amplified ? Anteriorising Common Isolate ‘x”. The digit ‘x’ should be amplified by (AD) using the name of the Artist. If necessary, this may be followed by work facet as in ‘O Literature’. In India where can a library science student look up for ready made CC numbers as guidance to him in building up his class humbers ? Issues of Indian National Bibliography and Accession Lists of various Universities, public and other libraries where CC is followed. The Journals like the ‘Herald of library Science’ and ‘Indian Library and Information Science Abstracts’ whose contents are classed according to CC are also useful to the students. Ofcourse, Dr. S.R. Ranganathan’s various books on classification, cataloguing, book selection and his CCC wiil serve as excellent sources for providing ready made numbers on various topics according to CC. In the 7th ed. of Colon classification ‘Basic subject’ is a gencric term covering both Main and Non-Main subjects. What are the 3 kinds of Main subjects recognised under 7th edition of the scheme.

What are the three Empty-Emptying digits postulated in ‘7it edition of CC? And how do you get a number for a Main subject or Space Isolate which has already used an Empty-Emptying digit ? ‘U',"W and ‘Y", By adding a semantically rich digit after the Empty -Emptying digit. What is the Indicator digit used for Antcriorising Commor Isolates in the 7th edition of CC ? “ (Double Inverted Comma). What is the role of the indicator digit Asterisk (*) in 7th edison of CC ?

What is the difference between a Subject Bundle and a Partial Comprehension Class? A Subject Bundle includes subjects drawn from differen disciplines pursucd by different specialists whereas a Partial Comprehension Class includes oaly a few consecutive Basic subjects or even isoktes. ‘What are the 3 Phoenix sections that have been provided for in the 19th cdition of DDC? : Former Sociology class 301 has been recast and replaced by the numbers 301-307.

(a) Generally standard subdivisiocs (S.Ss) should not be added to the number of a work, if the work does not have its own specific number. (b) They need not be added when ty are redundant. (c) Unless specifically instructed to do so, one. S.S. should not be added to another. The Table of Precedence should be used in case of applicability of more than one S.S. We know that Physical Sciences are classed at 500.2 in DDC (19th ed.). What about Natural Sciences an2 Natural history as per the latest decision published in DC & Vol. 4 No. 2 and DDC (20th ed.) ?

What are the rules to be observed in classifying works dealing with the history of wars and battles in the 19th ed. of DDC ? Works on the history 0! a war is to be classed with the history of the country where most of the fighting took place. But if the war extends to more than one continent. the work should be classed in 909. In the case of battles of a war, they are to be classed with the Number for the war only, but no: with the Number for the area or place where battles were fought.

Provisions of a Table of Precedence helping the classifier to choose one SS out of many that are applicable for a given work.
