Classification Scheme:

Libraries use a classification system to organize items in a library. So that, users can easily find what they are looking for every time they come to the library! We at SFIT LIRC follow the Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) to arrange and organize books for every subject. Such an arrangement of books in the library makes them accessible and usable by library users. It also makes sure that books on a similar subject are grouped at one place.

It’s a system of arrangement adopted by a library to enable patrons to find its materials quickly and easily. (Britannica).

Every library has thousands of books that need to be arranged according to subjects; but, subjects of different books are different, so a need was felt to have a scheme which can arrange all the subjects according to their likeness .The similar subjects can be placed nearer and subjects only marginally related can be kept thereafter and such subjects which are not at all related can be kept at different location. Such a scheme, which arranges subjects of books on the basis of their likeness, is called a library classification scheme (NIOS).

The library classification schemes help in classifying a book, or in other words ,help in identifying the exact position of a subject among thousands of subjects (NIOS).
