* Bliss bibliographic classification, a library cataloguing system

The Bliss bibliographic classification ( BC ) is a library classification system that was created by Henry E. Bliss ( 1870 – 1955 ), published in four volumes between 1940 and 1953.

He believed that because the popular Library of Congress system had been designed for a specific library ( the Library of Congress ) it had no use as a standard system outside that library.

Bliss wanted a classification system that would provide distinct rules yet still be adaptable to whatever kind of collection a library might have, as different libraries have different needs.

A few library schools sometimes taught the BC system to their students, but only in a minor way.

The City College library continued to use Bliss ’ s system until 1967, when it reluctantly switched to the Library of Congress system.
