A Classification System for Church Libraries is made up of numbers of the Dewey Decimal Classification System which are most often used by a church media library. These numbers and their descriptions have been carefully selected to meet the needs of churches on a broad range of topics while supplying more specific numbers for religious topics. The Relative Index offers multiple entries for most numbers to make searching easier for the cataloger. This technical work is designed to be used for original cataloging or for verifying cataloging information from other sources. This abridged work will allow easier access to classification information for small and medium-sized libraries.

Here is a low-cost, handy how-to-do-it guide for people with little or no library training. This book shows how to start or update a church library and features: subject headings, Dewey Decimal classifications, headings for a picture file and more.
