[Rob · Rating 4 out of 5]

A clear, practical, informative guide on classification, indexing, and information retrieval, written in a readable style with plenty of exercises to try building classmarks for various classification schemes, assigning subject headings, and more.

Det er ikkje ofte ein ser ei så klar framstilling av noko som helst.
