Systematik „Ästhetische Kulturwissenschaft“ an der Universitätsbibliothek Hildesheim – ein Innovationsbericht

Abstract

As can be found by practical experience, existing open-shelf classification systems comply less and less with the subject interrelations of literature in the field of cultural studies. A possible way out is to arrange and classify books according to a multiple-arts cultural aesthetics. By this, a central part of the literature in cultural studies is indexed in accordance with an important perspective of research. This results in improvements for both users and librarians. As an example, the paper explains and discusses the modified shelving of the collection at the University Library of Hildesheim.
