What reading level is The Development of Notation in Classification book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Books of different sizes were separated and the letters a, b, or c given to the respective sizes. Then in each class and size the books were numbered one onwards. In section 35, law for example, there would be three sequences, 35 a 1 ; 35 b 1 ; and 35 c 1. Thus early was established a complete notation, by which books were individualized, without the necessity for their being assigned to any particular bookcases. The collection could be moved about at will without necessitating any changes of p...ressmark, and what is equally important it was expansive. If any sections became full, the rest could be moved on to allow further space ad infinitum, or at any rate to the full extent of the library building. Even now additions can be made to it when any valuable books of an early date are purchased by the library.
This brings us to a consideration of the later develop- ments of notation, not only in the Bodleian, but also in the libraries of the world. The simple notation just described contams all the essentials of a book number, namely, a short sign for each class ; and then a number for each book in that class.
