Features: To enable new and existing users of the "Chinese Library Classification" (CLC) to correctly master this classification system and perform literature classification and indexing, the CLC Editorial Committee has developed the "User's Manual for the Chinese Library Classification (4th Edition)" based on the original 3rd edition user manual. This book includes: the theoretical and technical aspects of the CLC's compilation; general methods of literature classification; classification methods for major categories of literature in the CLC; arrangement of similar books, issues of literature adaptation; an introduction to the CLC versions and related reference tools. There is also an appendix. This book highlights the newly added content in the 4th edition of the CLC, provides explanations for significant changes in the category structure, and supplements the content that was briefly described in the 3rd edition user manual. The CLC Editorial Committee has the authoritative interpretation of the CLC, and this book is both academically rigorous and highly practical.
