Based on the principles outlined in Dr. Ranganathan's influential paper \u003cem data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"551\"\u003eSubject Heading and Facet Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e, the book demonstrates how subjects can be precisely identified and represented through a structured combination of basic subjects, facets, isolates, speciators, and qualifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003eThe authors, Dr. M. A. Gopinath and Alar Mel Mangai, provide a detailed explanation of the theoretical foundations of the Postulational Approach and illustrate its practical application through numerous examples and exercises. The methodology enables the accurate verbal expression of complex subjects, which can then be translated into classification numbers using major classification systems such as Colon Classification (CC), Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003eThe book also highlights the importance of subject analysis in generating systematic indexing tools, including Chain Indexing, POPSI, PRECIS, and KWAC. By linking classification theory with practical cataloguing and indexing techniques, it offers readers a comprehensive understanding of knowledge organization and information retrieval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1824\"\u003eAlthough many examples are drawn from printed documents, the principles and techniques discussed are equally applicable to digital resources and other information media, making the book highly relevant in contemporary information environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"2067\"\u003eAn essential resource for Library and Information Science students, classification specialists, cataloguers, indexing professionals, researchers, teachers of classification, and anyone interested in facet analysis and subject representation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ess Ess Publication","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66900908048688,"sku":"DRG.EssEssPub_8190095773","price":298.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/8190095773.jpg?v=1780557761","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/subject-classification-practice","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
