Classifying Marian Bn:,ks Frequently during the past year, the Mari&.t Library has received requests for a classification scheme for books relative to our Lady. This issue of the Newsletter is thus devoted to a revision of a schedule published by the former Marian Librarian, Brother Stanley Mathews, s. M. If your library has added many volumes on Mary, the following scheme, a simplified version of the clasr-lification used in the Marian Library at the University of Da \ton, may be of help.
Adopting such a plan will doubtless ent:: il a certain amount of recataloguing and reclassification, but the important point is that in this Age of Mary, the Marian section of a library should continue to grow; the longer the job of reclassification is put off, the more involved it will be. Unless some revisic n is carried out, the Marian collection becomes less and less f, :nctional as it grows.路 The scheme can be used in detail only by I braries with sizeable Marian collections, but is adaptable to smaller ones. Libraries may not wish to use some of the suggestions (e.g., .38--Biographies of devotees of Mary--because such a plan breaks up their biography collection); however, adaptations can easily be made as needed. The most effective way to install this cla:;sification program is to choose one free number in your present system, preferably the number nearest to the number for Christ which is available or can be made available with the least trouble.

Special mention should be made of the . 7 section: Shrines, Miracles, Apparitions. This will be one of the most used numbers, and may not be adequate for all libraries. At first glance it seems to be disproportionately slanted in favor of European shrines. It is, and, for most libraries, the book collection is also. It is also possible that in some localities there may be a large amount of material on shrines outside of Europe, or in additio~ Suropean countries. The schedule can easily be rearranged to suit the needs of the individual library. Additional subdivisions will provide specific numbers for specific shrines if further division is desired, e.g.,

In general, books are classified here by subject rather than form. Sermons, modifications, etc., on the rosary, go with .51. Books of devotions, talks, etc., for May, go with May devotions. One book has been mentioned here after each number to indicate the kind of work classified under that number.
