"""The essence of library catalogue is arrangement of entries.""
(a) There is no intention, in this paper, of providing anything like a
new code of filing rules for use with the computer. Ted Hines and
Jessica Harris have made a valiant and largely successful try at this
task. It is recommended that you obtain it2 and read it thoughtfully.
(b) Nor will this paper comment on the two classic American filing
codes^ in such a way that the form subdivision for a subject-heading
on this paper would read ""Commentaries,"" but rather in such a
way as to give it ""Criticism, interpretation, etc."" (c) Nor (as a
final disclaimer) is this paper thematically concerned with the hope
for code revision though these pages come closer to such a treatment
than to (a) or (b).
Instead, there will be an attempt (d) to present some of the
intellectual or bibliographical problems involved in the notions of sorting
and filing, and then (e) an outline of some of the tools and techniques
which can be brought to bear upon their resolution. Together,
these ideas should (f) make possible a rational basis for the evaluation
of filing- code -revision suggestions."
