Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand the application of relative location system and minute classification system in the DDC and to identify the effect of the relative location system and minute classification system during the late of 19th century. In order to achieve the objective, four main investigation areas were chosen: relative location system, minute classification system, and DDC influence to other libraries and classification systems. First, DDC applied a relative location system revolutionarily instead of a fixed location system for arranging books on the shelves, so it opened the period of modern library classification systems. Second, it used a minute classification system, and could classify books which had minute subjects. Third, it applied form to a criterion for dividing divisions and sections, so it helped for classifying books. Fourth, it used a numerical decimal system as a classification system, then people could use it economically and practically. Last, DDC influenced modern classification system such as the Expansive Classification and the Subject Classification etc. DDC is a suitable library classification system for the needs of the times, and it is a practical classification system for each library.

본 연구의 목적은 DDC가 당시 도서관 장서의 급속한 증가 문제를 해결하기 위해 도서관 최초로 상관식 배가법을 도입하고 세분화된 분류체계를 적용한 것이 도서관계에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 DDC가 상관식 배가법을 도입하고, 분류체계를 세분화하여, 도서관과 타 분류법에 미친 영향 등을 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, DDC는 이전에는 존재하지 않았던 상관식 배가법이라는 혁신적인 방법을 적용하여, 세분화된 분류체계를 도입하면서 당시 도서관이 처해있던 급속한 장서 증가 문제를 해결하였다. 둘째, 세부적인 분류를 위해 형식 구분을 분류기준으로 적용하여 실질적으로 도서관의 도서 분류에 도움을 주었다. 셋째, 분류체계에 십진법을 도입함으로써 분류체계의 무한정 세분화가 가능하여, 경제성과 실용성을 획득하였다. 넷째, 전개분류법이나 주제분류법을 비롯한 현대 도서관 분류법 발전에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 이처럼 상관식 배가법을 적용하고 세분화된 분류체계를 가진 DDC는 시대적 요구에 적합한 분류법이었고, 개별 도서관에서 실용적으로 사용할 수 있는 분류법이었다.
