“The population” scientific term in the LBC tables

Abstract

In the tables of Russian Library Bibliographic Classification (LBC), the literature on group populations is separated. Based on the LBC Medium Tables, the recommendations are given on how to analyze documents by content with indexing to follow (for teaching systematization). Diverse resources on population may hamper separating publications. Document analysis enables to present its content as a classification number to be used in catalog and/or in systematic collection arrangement. The comprehensive resource coverage expands catalog retrieval capability and saves user’s time. The LBC tables are used in collection arrangement, catalogs and lists. The content makes the key factor of fixing document position in the tables. The potentiality of systematizing literature by examination aspect is revealed as exemplified by the publications on group populations.
