Overview of cataloguing and classification

Cataloguing and classification form the backbone of library science, enabling efficient information discovery and resource management. Mastering the core concepts—definition, purpose, key principles, and the relationship between cataloguing and classification—prepares students to design and evaluate bibliographic records and classification schemes, a critical skill for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
