摘要：BETWEEN 1946 and 1956 a great deal of attention has been focused on the classification of medical library materials. Old classification systems have been revised, and new applications or slants have been given to them. Many new classifications have been developed-some for the field of medicine in general-some for a specific subject field or library situation. The large number of systems in this category has a certain significance, particularly in the light of a recent proposal by Saul Herner and Robert S. Meyer, for the creation of "tailor-made classifications" for special libraries (40). Library classification, as such, began with the individual schemes of specific libraries; universal systems were only a later development. It is interesting to find examples of this "neoindividual" approach.
