Abstract
ABSTRACT The University of Regensburg Library was founded in 1964 as a collection of books on open-access shelves. Therefore the Library established a new “home-made” classification scheme. Like LCC, a classmark consists in general of three principal elements: location number, classification number and author marks (formulated by Cutter and Sanborn). But unlike most academic libraries in Germany, Regensburg has developed its classification in line with the classification of a large group of German academic libraries. The 34 individual schedules are primarily kept up-to-date by: • Newsletter (semi-annual), published by the secretary at Regensburg • On-going contact between specialists and the secretary • New editions of the individual schedules appearing periodically Our plans in the field of classification include: • Updating according to developments in the sciences and humanities • Online classification
