Abstract

The problems posed by automation for those responsible for the maintenance of bibliographic classifications have been widely rehearsed both in the professional literature and at conferences. This paper will not repeat them, but will rather give some indication of the attempts currently being made to fit a classification that was devised in the nineteenth century for use in the twenty‐first.
