- Title
MARIANIST LIBRARY CLASSIFICATION: A CASE STUDY.
- Authors
Kosmowski, Andrew J.
- Abstract
In 2005, Teresa Trimboli, librarian at the North American Center for Marianist Studies (NACMS), published an article in Marianist Soundings1 describing her efforts at creating a classification system for the center's library. NACMS, which serves researchers and members of the Marianist Family2 throughout North America and the world, uses Marianist Library Classification (MLC), which she developed.3 Other centers for Marianist studies and Saint Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, utilize this system for their collections which focus on the Marianist Family. This is a reflection on the use of this system and an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. This discussion is also meant to serve librarians or archivists, whether serving a religious order or not, who may want to bring all materials germane to a certain order or charismatic family into a single organized place in their collection.
