Analysis and Alternative of Classification Errors in Public Libraries

Libraries have long experience of applying classification schemes to resources - chiefly books. The ultimate goals of classification are systematic shelving of books and ease of user's access. In order to achieve these goals, books about a particular field of knowledge should be shelved together and near each other. If not so, it is classification error. The focus of this study is, therefore, on analysing the classification error in Korea public libraries and suggesting some alternatives.
